TiVe-s-e  no  doubt  account  for  the  great,

degrees  of  fierceness  which  have  been 
delivered  along  the  line  in  Belgium

During  the  ia.si  threo  woek.s.  tho 
German  and  Ausitian  forces  Iihm-  por- 
.«lsted  in  their  vuin  <'fforts  to  break 
tnrough  Uu.ssia's  defense.  The  ilghtlni; 
on  both  .^des  has  been  of  an  nnpre- 
cedentod  character.  For  a  fortnight 
there  has  been  no  nest  or  intermission, 
but  one  c<jutlnuous  nightmare  of  whole- 
sale slaughter,  that  has  strained  ter- 
ribly the  nerves  of  even  the  most  har- 
dened troo|)8.  For  seven  days  and 
nights  consecutlvrly  tho  German  waves 
poured  like  a  mighty  tide  upon  the  rock 
of  1-lusslan  defense  in  a  ceaseless  at- 
tempt. For  that  week  and  tlie  week 
before  the  guns  never  ceased  their  roar 
by   day   or  night. 

l"or  forty-eight  hours  pa*t  there  has 
iw-ein  no  serious  lighting  on  the  left 
bank  of  the  Vistula,  hut  partial  at-

c  esp,  and  have  lost  more  heavily  there 
during  the  last  forty-eight  hours  than 
in  their  other  partial  attacks.

Between  the  Pllica  and  tli.-  sippor 
reaches  of  the  Vi.'<tnla  all  attacks  have, 
oea.spd  from  the  enemy's  side,  and  it  is 
now  th«  Russians  who  have  assumed 
the  actWa  offensive  in  this  region.  They 
have  entirely  cleared  the  1-eft,  or  east- 
.  in  bank  of  tho  Nida  River  by  the 
<  apturc  of  an  obstinately  defended  Aus- 
trian position  at  the  village  of

front  from  Opatow  acio.ss  the  Baila

has  ilkcwis.;!  begun.  Between  December 
IS  and  26  the  Ru.ssians  took  as  pris- 
miers  200  officers  and  15,000  rncn  and 
also    40   maxims. 

Further  south  the  condition  of  the 
Austrians  is  still  more  hopeless.  The 
rcUrement  of  the  forces  covering  the 
DuKla  and  Aja  passes,  reporltsd  aomo

Further  Details  of  Daring  Visit 
of  Britons  to  German  Har- 
bor— Attacks  of  Zeppelins 
and  Submarines  Ineffective, 


LONDON,  Dec.  2a.— The  London 
Times    says: 

"It  Is  now  possible  to  .supplement 
the  ofnclal  account  of  the  British  raid 
on  Cuxhaven  with  some  particulars  of 
the  condttion.s  under  which  the  historic 
combat  was  fought.  Christmas  morn- 
ing broUe  beautifully  fine  and  clear,  in 
the  Bight  of  Heligoland  ih-frc  was  prac- 
tically no  wind,  and  the  surface  of  the 
sea  was  hardly  ruffled.  Our  daring  alr- 
mon  soon  ran  Into  a  fog.  It  was  dense 
off  the  mouth  of  the  Kibe,  but  lay  only 
In  shallow  patches  over  the  harbor  and 
the   town   of  Cuxhaven. 

"Flying  very  high  while  out  at  sea 
the  aeroplanes  came  as  low  a,s  was 
ctinsistenl  witli  safely  for  dropping 
their  bombs.  In  spite  of  the  German 
cieiUals  there  ia  excellent  reason  to  be- 
Ik've  that  considerable  dani.age  was 
done  by  them,  and  that  a  Parseval  shed 
and  airship  were  d«=istroyed.  and  a  num- 
ber of  Zeppelin  sheds  and  their  con- 
tents   badly   knocked   about. 

While  our  men  were  busy  Gib&  iSer- 
nians  discovered  tjie  presence  of  the 
escorting  cruisers  and  destroyers,  and 
two  Zeppelin.w.  with  some  seaplai>e»  and 
subniarlne.",  set  off  to  attack  them.  The 
Zopj)pilns  were  the  tlrst  to  go  lo  work, 
but  did   not   nial<e  good  practice. 

"For  some  moments  they  droppe^l 
bombs  inc-essontly  without  striking  any 
.of  our  ships.  High  angle  fire  from  our 
crnlaei-s  soon  drove  them  off.  and  one 
was  undoxibtedly  hit.  and  lilt  badly. 
Roth  the  Arethusa  and  the  L'ndaunted 
managed  to  get  in  successful  shots. 
SahmariBaa   Bafflad 

".\  far  greater  danger  to  our  squad- 
ron was  th«  enemy's  submarines.  They 
made  constant  attomptu  lo  reach  our 
cruisers,  but  were  baffled  by  the  mas- 
terly seamanship  shown  In  the  handling 
of  our  destroyer,?,  which  manoeuvred 
at  high  speed  around  the  larger  \-<essel.s 
and  successfully  repelled  ever.v  at- 
tempt to  torpedo  them.  Meanwhile  our 
airmen  were  returning  to  their  ships, 
and  were  soon  engaged  In  conflict  with 
till-  enemy  air  craft,  which  had  lieeii 
groping  for  them  in  the  fog  off  the 
coast. 

"Full  partlc-uliirs  of  the  fight  aro  not 
available,  but  th«  fact  that  six  out  of 
the  seven  of  our  pilots  have  been  safely 
accounted    for,   speaks    for    Itself. 

"Tho  German  account  talks  of 
damage  done  to  the  Rrltlsli  ship.'s  in 
thi.s  amai'.Ing  conflict.  It  is  undeniable, 
howrvor,  that  every  crnlser,  destroyer 
and  submarine  has  returned  to  its  base 
without  loss  of  life  or  material 
damage." 

.\  Berlin  dispatch  received  by  the 
Kxehange  Telegraph  Company  by  way 
of  The  Hague  says  that  the  (>rman 
Kinperor  summoned  Prince  Henr.v  of 
I'riisolii  to  hl.M  headquarlers  to  confer 
with  him  and  Admiral  von  Tlrpit/., 
Minister  of  .Marine,  on  the  British  raid 
on  Cuxhaven.  Tho  conforenoe  lasted 
.f^veial  hourji,  the  Prince  returning  to 
Kiel    b.v  special  train. 

It  Is  believed  In  Gennany,  the  dis- 
patch adds,  that  Prince  Henry  la  to  be 
given  supreme  command  of  the  German

LOXDp.V,  Dec.  29.— It  is  already 
hinted  i:i  the  ofliclal  annoiuicenioiits 
from  Berlin  and  Vienna  (and  rather 
positively  Indicated  by  the  Petrograd 
oommuni.iucs)  that  the  nes\'  Austrian 
debacle  in  Galiclji  has  crippled  the  Ger- 
man ottei'slve  in  (.'enttal  Poland. 
Powerless  to  batler  his  way  across  the 
rizura  and  Rawka.  even  when  the  Rus- 
.<ilans  .vere  beset  on  the  north  by  Ger- 
man re'n.''orcements  from  Kasc  Prussia 
and  on  ihf  .south  by  a  veritable  .\u.-5- 
trlan  av-'ilanehe  from  tho  t-arpathlan.-?. 
Von  llincienburg  may  soon  have  to  turn 
and  run  for  It. 

Once  more  Ausiiia  has  failed  Ger- 
many s.idly  in  an  hour  of  need.  The 
Austrian  general  staff  was  forced  yes- 
terday 1.0  make  the  humiliating  admis- 
sion th.ic  the  Ru.sslans  hail  driven 
Francis  .losepli's  troops  in  retreat  in 
Galida.  Herlin  avoids  any  mention  of 
the  Galkia  situation,  has  no  news  to 
offer  from  Kast  Prussia  or  the  north 
bank  of  I  he  Vistula,  and  adds  merely 
that  G'vrman  attacks  are  developing, 
notwlthstandln;:;  the  unfavoraM'  wea- 
ther. 

The  fads  of  the  situation  as  revealed 
in  the  late  news  appe.qr  in  f.l.iiid  out 
aft   follow.s: 

.Msrsl-.al  Von  HiiidenOurg  has  been 
defeated  in  every  attempt  to  drive  the 
Itussia-i.i  Irom  the  east  bank.-:  of  the 
P.Ktira  iind  the  Rawka,  and  unable  to 
gain  a' foot  toward  Wareaw  ^  the  last

ment by  the  Russian  armle.^  of  Lodz 
and  th«^  fcUbPcaufent  advance  oy  the  Ger- 
mans to  a  battle  front  Cii't  Of  L«>dB, 
the  Germans  have  made  no  progress 
whatever,  and  have  lost  st  liwst  20,000 
In  kilted  end  wounded  In  ''romal~»»t 
snultH. 

aituatloa  gnddenly  Chaagss. 

These  operation.^!  were  pressed  by 
Marshal  Von  Illndenburg  whon  he  had 
every  cbsnce  of  success.  lie  had  vast- 
ly superior  numbers,  probiiblv  600,000 
n-.en  to  3.r0.000  for  the  Russians  on  ih.it 
front.  He  had  gained  the  pre.':tlge  that 
was  dno  for  avoiding  a  terrlbl'»  disaster 
and  turning  apparent  rout  Into  a  new 
<off«|nslvo  movement.  .Vnd,  most  Im- 
portant, he  had  the  anslstance  o^  the 
German  armies  In  East  Prussia  and 
Northwe<it  Poland,  and  the  Austro. 
German  forces  In  Southwest  Poland 
and  in  Galli-la,  all  of  which  were  ad 
\anctng  and  throwing  a  tremendous 
weight  a;rflltist  the  long  drawn  out  Rus- 
sian   line. 

Now  the  situation  in  again  suddenly 
changed  by  the  decisive  Russian  vlc- 
tor.\-  in  Gallcla.  One  week  ag^  the  Rus- 
sians w^re  forced  to  abandon  the  In- 
A'ostment  of  Cracow  because  of  s.  vory 
general  movement  by  Gen.  von  Roehm- 
Krmolll  and  heav.v  forces  of  the  Aus-

the  advance  through  the  lln>  of  Csen- 
stochowa-Ci'acow  of  an  Austro-German 
force  under  Gen.  Dankl.  The  Russians 
were  hard  pressed  and  in  real  danger 
of  envelopment.  But  tho  Grand  Duke 
Nicholas  executed  one  of  the  strategic 
operatloTM  for  which  he  has  become 
famous.  Having  withdrawn  from  Cra- 
cow to  the  Blala  River,  the  Russians 
suddenly  sent  a  heavy  oolumn  rapidly 
marching  southward,  interposed  th)>m- 
selves  between  the  Austrians  of  the 
north  and  of  the  south,  defeated  "Von

in    the   forest   CourtechaiisHC. 

"On  tho  heights  of  tho  Mouse  several

pulsed in  the  forest  of  Le  Uouchot, 
which  Is  northeast  of  Troyou.

chateau,  which  Is  located  to  the  north- 
west of  this  village." 

Important   Oalns 

PARKS,  Dec.  2S. — German  troops  were 
defeated  today  In  two  battles  of  great 
importance,  one  for  the  p08se!«8ion  of 
th£  village  of  Hit  Georges.  Belgltim,  and 
the  other  for  the  approaches  of  Hteln- 
bach  In  Alsace,  ,\t  at.  Georges, 
Franco-Belgian  troops  carried  the  town 
by  a  .'itormlng  attack  and  riro\e  tho 
Gei-Tnans    Into    delinlte    retreat. 

The  French  euglneeri  have  created 
fortifications  to  consolUlHte  their  hold 
on   this   section   of  the   battle  front. 

With  the  successes  announced  today 
Jt  Is  clearly  evident  that  the  Germans 
are  unable  to  hold  their  lines  at  cither 
extreme  right  of  their  position.s-  in  Bel- 
gium, ov  the  extreme  left  In   Alsace. 

The  most  advanced  line  of  the  Allies 
is  on  the  scacoast  in  the  vicinity  of 
Marlakerke,  about  two  miles  west  of 
Ostend.  There  is  no  question  but  that 
the  Germans  are  evacuating  Rotilers.

for  a  continuation  of  the  Russian  plan

at  thi.i  moment  of  writing  they  have  re-

has  been  promptly  met  by  vigorous

gained  an  important  success  to  the  north

Tht-ri  were  touching  scenes  on  Chrhit- 
maa  Day,  all  along  the  line  that  the 
Belgians  hold  In  the  little  strip  of  their 
country  still  left  to  them.  In  one 
trench,  as  tho  stroke  of  midnight  an- 
nounced the  beginning  of  Christmas  Day 
the  Belgians  sang  the  hymn  "Noel 
Chretien,"  and  the  Germans,  who  faxsed 
them  In  a  trench  only  a  few  yards 
away,  at  once  replied  with  "Oh.  Tannen- 
baimi,''  their  famous  Christmas  aong. 
Afterwards  the  Belgians  and  Germans 
gave   three   cheers. 

So  far  as  possible  wooden  sabots  have 
been  served  out  to  the  Belgian  troops. 
Leather  boots  are  now  regarded,  as 
luxurlei,  and  arc.  only  worn  by  men 
actuall;^  ^n  the  front  line  of  trenches. 
A^■h'■n  they  arc  relieved  they  hand  them

But  It's  good  to  bo  able  to  say  that 
in  spite  of  tho  bad  weather  the  sani-

Dec.  27.  via  Paris.  Dec,  29. — That  por- 
tion of  tho  French  army  which  is  hold- 
Ins  the  lines  near  Arraa  today  attacked 
the  Gormans  on  a  front  twelve  mlle.s 
long.  They' carried  half  a  mile  of  Gcr- 
mfin  trenches  near  Lens  by  assault,  and 
tonight  they  are  holding  these  posltlopH  ■ 
in  force. 

The  way  for  thi.s  att.ick  was  prepared 
by  violent  artillery  and  raachlne-gun 
file,  which  swept  the  German  positions 
from  a  point  to  the  north  of  Lens  to  tho 
suburbs  south  of  Arras,  The  German 
batteries  everywhere  replied  heavily  to 
lliis  French  fire. 

^^■hl^e  the  Germans  were  thus  engaged 
nl<  ng  the  entire  line  of  thU  part  oft 
their  defence  works,  the  French  fire  op- 
posite Lena  euddenly  ceased.  Instantly, 
French  Infantrymen  leaped  from  their* 
trenches  and  charged  the  German  posi- 
tions, which  ware  100  to  200  yarde  dis« 
tnnt.  A  brief  and  furious  bayonet  en- 
counter brought  victory  to  the  French. 
'Jho  Germans  wore  routed,  the  French 
look  some  prisoners  and  occupied  the 
German  diggings.  It  was  all  oTer  In 
twenty  minutes.  The  artillery  fire  on 
iKtth  (Sides  died  down  and  Mlence  fell 
on  the  field  of  battle.  But  vIgUanca 
was  in  no  sense  relaxed.  At  Interval* 
of  two  rods  in  the  trenchea  keen  eye« 
peering  Into  periscopes  wmtche4  th« 
edges  of  the  German  t.-enches,  the  ob-

Itrouglit  Europe  to  the  verge  of  ac-

on  the  tlilrd  Great  Ltritaln  stood  lirmly

but  for  the  commanding  liillufiiee  nn<i 
untiring  rfforls  of  Sir  Kdwanl  <?rey. 
the  war  which  broke  out  In  Itlil,  would 
have  been  forced  ilpon  Europe  during 
the  prevlou.«:  year.  I  have  .«poken  of 
three  occasions:  but,  a.s  wan  once  said 
to  me  by  a.  t^tatesmaii  of  grc.it  experi-

"Not  only  here,  but  In  the  British 
l.«!lands  military  preparation  ha.s  been 
imperfect,  because  development  has  pro- 
ceeded along  the  piith.s  of  peace.  The 
Instinct  of  the  British  people  is  against 
miUtariam,  and  great  standing  armies 
are  not  viewed  with  favor.  But  In  tho 
British  Islands  and  In  the  self-govern- 
ing Dominions  alonp  there  are  at  least 
60,000,000  of  people,  a  population  nearly 
equal  to  that  of  Germanj-.  If  our  pre- 
paration for  the  BtruKKle  was  inaignlfl- 
cant  compared  with  Oermany.  let  u«  not 
forget  that  her  resouces  are  Instgntn- 
catit  comtiarod  with  those  of  thia  Em- 
pire. There  are  many  things  which 
oount  bestdM  armed  forces  in  th«  field. 
In  the  organisation  of  modem  ■war  alt

This  was  poaaible  beoauae  of  the  or- 
sanixlng  ability,  the  great  trausporta- 
tion  system  and  the  Induatrial  activities 
of  Canada.  Already  our  factories  are 
turning  out  not.  only  clothing  and

of  war  on  a  great  scale  and  of  a  char-

re.sources  In  the  forests,  the  Itsherles.

"".'he  ability  of  the  Allied  armies  to 
hold  ill  check  the  powerful  forces  of 
Germany  Pending  the  preparation  which 
wo  lack  has  been  amply  dcmon.-^tratod, 
aiid  the  armies  of  the  Empire,  as  well 
as  its  enormous  resources,  are  already 
being  organized  on  such  a  scale  a.s 
leaves  nu  room  for  doubt  as  to  the  IsHue 
of  thi.s  struggle.  The  preparation  inuat 
b«  thoroughly  and  adefiuately  made.  It 
would  be  not  only  useless,  but  criminal, 
to  .send  our  clllzeu  soldiers  into  the 
Held  of  liattle  without  the  orsanlzatlon, 
training  and  discipline,  which  are  es- 
sential under  conditions  of  modern 
warfare. 

"So  here  in  the  West,  as  well  as  In 
tho  Kast  of  this  Dominion  and  through- 
out the  Empire,  armies  are  being  or- 
ganized, equipment  ana  armaments  are 
being  prepared  and  we  are  making 
ready  for  the  day  when  the  hosts  of 
Germany  shall  be  drlvun  back  within 
their  own  frontiers  and  the  march  be- 
gins, which  shall  not  end  until  tli« 
Prussian  oligarchy  and  its  dominance 
over  the  (^lorman  people  shall  have 
come   to  a  deserved  and   inev^abie  end, 

"During  the  past  three  months  I  have 
seen  at  least  60.000  Canadians  under 
arms,  and  of  these  30,000  will  shortly 
be  at  the  battle  front.  Abroad  and  at 
home  we  have  more  than  100,000  Cana- 
dlauM    prapartn^   foii — tht*   ttteent-iit   of   all 


a  soldier's  duties.  Those  who  are 
shortly  to  be  at  the  front  will  fight 
side  by  side  with  the  beet  troops  in  the 
world,  and  we  have  a  reasonable  con- 
nttenoe.  inspired  hy  the  nTemdneS  of  the 
past,  that  they  will  bear  themselves 
Worthily  and  with  honor  to  themselves 
and  their  country.  Those  who  are 
acquiring  the  training  and  discipline  of 
tho  soldier  will  do  well  to  remember 
that  they  are  as  truly  serving  their 
country  as  if  they  were  at  the  front, 
for  without  this  their  service  would  be 
ineffective  and  useless. 

United    Smplre 

"It  Is  hardly  necessary  to  emphasize 
the  unity  of  purpose  which  actuates  the 
entire  Kmpiro  In  tills  struggle.  For  the 
ruling  cia.sses  of  Germany,  it  Is.dlffi- 
cult,  if  not  Impossible,  to  comprehend 
even  Imperfectly  the  strength  of  an 
Empire  bound  together  by  tics  which 
to  them  seem  so  imperfect  and  so  at- 
tenuated." The  ideals  of  Government 
upon  which  the  German  Kmpirc  is  based 
are  so  profoundly  different  from  those 
which  constitute  thostrength  and  hold 
firm  the  unity  of  the  Briti.ih  Dominions, 
that  this  result  Is  not  surprising.  Our 
self-governing  Dominions  are  united  by 
the  ties  of  a  common  allegiance  to  the. 
Crown;  but  the  Crown  has  become  the 
sjTnbpl  of  the  people's  sovereignty. 
According  to  our  conception  and  prac- 
tices of  Government,  the  King  reigns  to 
execute  the  will  of  the  people,  who  rule. 
Tho  strength  of  tho  Kmpiro  rests  upon 
the  eternal  foundation  of  Ifberty  cx- 
prcHsed  In  tl:e  ideal  and  consummation 
of  autonomous  self-government  which  is 
vested  in  the  people  of  the  self-govern- 
ing Dominions  as  of  right  and  not  of 
grace.  The  spirit  of  Prussian  absolut- 
ism domin/iting  the  people  of  the  Gor- 
man Empire  regards  any  such  form  of 
government  as  weak  and  Ineffective. 
They  conceive  that  it  represents  only  a. 
pas.slng  pha.se.  and  tliat  tlie  German 
theory  of  absolutism  cannot  faii  to  Im- 
press Itself  upon  the  whole  world  In 
due  course.  So  that  this  striiggic  in- 
volve* issues  which  transcend  even  the 
Interests  and  the  future  of  our  own 
ICmiiire,  and  wlilcli  embrace  the  wholr> 
thooi-y  and  practice  of  government  for 
all  the  future  generations  of  the  world. 
If  the  mllitari.st  and  autocratic  Ideals 
of  the  Prussian  oligarchy  can  a.ssert 
themselves  in  world-wide  dominance, 
the  progress  and  development  of  demo- 
cra.cy  will  either  have  been  stayed  for- 
ever ur  th^work  of  centuries  will  Iiave 
been  undone  and  mankind  niu.«t  .struggle 
anew  for  idoai.s  of  freedom  and  rights 
of  sclf-governmetit.  whlcli  have  been 
established  as  the  birthright  of  tho 
British  people.  Thus  the  powers  of 
democracy  are  them.selves  on  trial  to- 
day, and  the  l.><Hue  of  this  conflict  con-

"lu  HO  far  aw  ibi.s   Kmpire   may   br  .siild 
to    possess    a      constitution,      it      i.s      of 
modern  growth  and   is  still   In   the  stage 
of    development.      One    can    hardly    con- 
cL'lvB   that  It   vvlU  over  distinctly  emerge 
from    that    stage    or   attain    a    .status    In 
which    constitutional    development    is   no 
longer    to    be    anilcipatod.       Indeed,    the 
genius   of    the   British   people  and  all   our 
pa.st   history  loud  us   to  believe  the  con- 
trary.     The   steps   in  advance   have   been 
usually    gradual,    and    always    practical, 
Mifl    they    liave   been    taken    rather  by    In- 
stinct   than    upon    any      carefully      (-on- 
.sldered    theory.      But    the    very    liberties 
of     tlie     Empire    made    possible     resuit-i 
which    no      absolutism      could       foresee. 
Thus   the  unity  of  purpose  inspiring  the 
British    Dominions    and    their    participa- 
tion  in    tills    war    iition    so"  vast   a   scale, 
lias    amazed    the      I'russlan       war    lords. 
Also      It    has    shattered    their    conlklent 
belief     that     the     military     resources    of 
those    Dominions      were      entirely    negli- 
gible,     It  is  within   the   bound*  of   prob- 
ability that  the  four   free  nations  of  the 
Overseas    Dominions   will   have   put   into 
the  fighting  lino  250,000   men  if   the  war 
.should    continue    for   another   year.    That 
result,    or    even    the    results    which    have 
already    been    obtained,    must      mai-K    a 
great  epoch   in   tho     history     of     inter- 
Imperial      relations.     There     are      those 
within  nound  of  my  voice  who  will  see 
the   Overaeaa      Dominions      aurpaas      In

Captain    Oman    of    Xortli     OaroUaa    Se* 

porta   on   Tripoli   Incident  to   Vavy 

Department  at   Waahlngtoa 

W.'.SHI.VGTOX,  J>ec.  29. — Capt  Oman, 
comniiimler  of  the  armored  cruiser  North 
t'arolina  at  Belruit.  Syria,  informed  the 
navy  dcpurliiient  today  that  it  waa  a 
Hussiari  cruiser  and  not  an  American 
\e.ssel  wlilch  recently  threatened  to 
boniliaiil  Tripoli. 

I'aptalii  Oman's  explanation  was  made 
Iji  response  lo  a  reiiucst  from  Secretary 
r>anielH,  It  was  fllijd  at  Beirut  yester- 
day and  was  a.-*  follows:  "On  December 
'■lo,  the  Russian  cruiser  .Askold  sent 
boats  with  armed  men  on  a  reconnais- 
HHuce  near  Tripoli.  Syria,  at  tho  viUago 
«C  Uanias.  Before  arrival  at  the  beach 
the  boats  grounded  In  shoal  water  a-id 
the  crews  of  the  boats  were  jeered 
by  the  people.  At  tlie  threat  of  Turkish 
authorities  to  imprison  the  boat.s'  crews, 
they  wer*  In  formed  that  the  nussian 
cruiser  would  bombard  the  village  in 
such  an  event  and  consequently  no  one 
was  made  prisoner.     Is'o  sliots  were  fired. 

"The  Russian  boats'  crews  left  the 
vicinity  when  the  boats  were  floated. 
Since  December  9,  no  Araerlgan  mer- 
chantman haa  been  south  of  Al^xandret- 
ta.  Tlie  reconnaissance  of  Beirut,  Syria,  is 
frequently  made  by  British,  French  and 
IluBslan  cruisers.  Everything  Is  quiet 
at  Beirut."

Difficulties  Involved"  in  Ques- 
tion of  Neutrality  Referred 
To — Requirements  of  Mili- 
tary Situation  Must  Be  Met. 


I..0>fDON,  Dec.  .10.— All  tlie  morning 
newspapers  comment  at  length  on  the 
American  Government's  note  to  Great 
Britain  concerning  the  treiilnient  that  is 
being  accorded  American  commerce  by 
the  British  fleet  and  say  that  the  Am- 
erican protest  siiould  be  met  by  the 
British  Government  In  the  same  spirit 
of  friendly  good  will  aa  la  shown  by  the 
note. 

Generally,  however,  the  newspapers 
are  inclined  to  await  the  actual  text 
of  the  note  before  Indulging  in  detailed 
criticism  of  it. 

in  the  meantime  they  point  out  how, 
Itiovitably.  serious  differences  arise 
whenever  Muestlons  of  neutrality  are  in- 
■rolved.  Moreover,  they  are  inclined  to 
dispute  the  theory  that  Great  Britain 
•  alone  is  responsible  for  the  dislocation 
of  tlie  world's  trade,  arguing  that  even 
liad  she  remained  neutroil,  the  fact  that 
a  ntimber  of  other  nations  were  involved 
111  liostllitlcs  must  have  hud  a  detri- 
mental effect  on  the  world's  commerce. 
In  any  case,  they  say.  Great  Britain 
was  not  responsible  for   the  war. 

The  Times  In  an  editorial  says: 

"The  note  Is  dated  December  24,  and 
although  the  idea,  must  seem  fanciful 
we  cannot  help  Imagining  that  it  was 
by  no  accident  that  the  eve  of  the 
great  festival  of  peace  .«nd  good  will 
was  chosen  for  the  dispatch  of  this 
friendly  communication  from  one  of 
ilie  great  branches  of  the  EngU.sh-speak- 
Ing    comniunliles    to    the  other. 

"If  anything  in  the  telegrnphlc  aum- 
mary  of  the  note  as  received  here 
should  seem  peremptory,  we  are  assured 
that  Its  appearance  is  (•iitlrely  due  to 
the  necessities  of  compression  and  will 
viuilsh  when  tho  te.vt  of  the  document 
is  before  us.  We  fully  realize  the  In- 
convenlehce  and  the  loss  the  conduct  of 
tile  war  must  occasion  to  .'Xmerlca  and 
other  neutrals.  We  al.so  are  confident 
tliar  when  the  note  i.s  puhllslied  we  sliall 
find  that  President  Wilson  and  hi.s  col- 
leagues are  not  Insensible  to  the  Im- 
perious reijulremciil.s  of  our  military 
aituatiiui. 

"W(>  do  not  .su)i|Hi.sc  thi.s  is  a  dispute 
of  our  right  as  belligerents  to  practice 
.such  interference  with  commerce  be- 
tween neutrals  a.s  is  manifestly  neceg- 
.sary  for  the  protection  of  our  national 
safety.  What  we  do  (|uestion,  as  we 
gather  it.  is  wlietli.'i-  the  action  of  our 
ships  docs,  in  soni<>  imsps,  f-vrrfrl  that 
manifest  ne<re.s.'j|ty." 

Proceeding  to  state  tliot  tliere  arc 
many  peculiar  comiitlons  arising  from 
the  war  whlc^i  justify  Great  Britain's 
policy,   the  editorial   continues; 

'■'I'lic  note  deals  ihrouglioiit  with  un- 
shaken faith  in  our  sense  of  justice. 
That  trust  we  shall  assuredly  do  our 
best  to  preserve.  It  Is  iiuite  incon- 
ceivable that  two  seuHliilc  peoples  on 
the  friendliest  terms  with  e;icli  uther 
should  not  .succeed  In  finding  a.  way  In 
wiilch  to  cfin.strue  the  International  law 
points  ilealing  with  iIiKs  perplexing  iiiat- 
ler."

CAIRO,  Deo.  29. — ,\ii  extraordinary  in-

twenty-eight  miles  south  of  Beirut. 
The  authorities  there  put  a  guard 
aiound  the  house  of  the  British  vice- 
consul  and  refused  to  allow  him  to 
bave  it.  The  guards  were  instructed  to 
fire  on  an.vone  coming  from  the  build- 
ing. 

The  tlhltefj  Slates  oonBul-general  ut 
Beirut  heard  of  the  matter  and  re- 
iiucsted  the  vail  to  withdraw  the  guard 
and  liberate  the  British  vlce-coneul.  The 
vail  rcpllod  by  saying  that  the  matter 
waa  one  for  the  military  authorltle.s. 
Thereupon  the  Anifrican  representative 
sent  a  meseage  to  the  vall  saying:  "It 
only  remaina  for  me  to  aend  tho  crulaer

JLabt  K»*.«Hion,  to  complete  thlH  system, 
the  Government  guaranteed  the  bonds 
of  this  company  for  Jin.OOO.OOO.  Provl- 
oiiB  to  the  outbreak  of  hostllltlos,  the 
company  had  J  15,000,000  worth  of  these 
tii.nd.'j  underwritten  in  London,  and  tha 
money,  unvlcr  tlio  terma  of  the  ayree- 
nsent  with  the  Government,  was ,  ap- 
plied on  the  company's  debts.  Since 
that  time  it  lias  been  Imposalble  to  se- 
cure sale  on  reasonable  terms  for  the 
remainder  of  the  i.ssue,  and  the  com- 
pany is  faced  with  a  condition  that  pre- 
vents further  Uciuldation  of  debt  or  im- 
provement of  the  system.  > 

Sir  •William  Mackenzie,  Z.  A.  Lash 
and  D,  B.  Hnnna;  of  the  <:.  N.  R.,  have 
been  frequent  visitors  to  Ottawa  lately, 
ana  It  Is  known  that  they  have  placed 
the  situation  of  the  company  before  the 
tiovernment.  They  are  not  asklnK  for 
any  more  .'isslstance,  but  hope  that  the 
O'ovcrnment  will  take  some  action  which 
will  make  tile  assistance  granted  last 
session  available.  To  sell  tlxe  bonds  at 
a  sacrifice  would  be  *  heavy  burden  Oi\ 
the  company  and  a  blow  to  the  Govern- 
ment's credit.  It  is  Btate>d  that  New 
York  financiers  would  take  the  bonds, 
l.ut  at  such  a  discount  that  the  Gov- 
crnment    would    not    allow    them    to    bo 


sold.  ! 

The  company  now  ask  that  advances 
be  made  to  banks  holding  those  Govern- 
ment guaranteed  securities  until  such 
tiniH  as  noxuial  conditions  prevail  In  the 
world's  money  markets.  This  was  done 
in  the  case  of  the  Pacific  &  Great 
I'astern  Ilailroad.  Power  to  do  this  was 
given  the  Government  during  the  war 
session  in  August; 

So  far.  the  Government  has  made  no 
tlecislon,  and  Jt  is  not  likely  to  tlo  so 
until  the  return  of  the  various  mem- 
bers of  the  Cabinet  after  New  Year.  If 
the  company  fails  to  maJte  good  the 
ngrccment  of  last  year,  It  means  tltjit 
the  C.  N.  R.  reverts  to  the  Government. 
No  further  aid  will  be  granted,  and 
what  will  be  done  regarding  that  grant- 
ed last  year  will  be  subjected  to  care- 
ful conslderntion.

«ifternoon   from   3   to   6  o'Clooh. 

TKi:    WAB     . 


yesterday's  news  had  few  details  ot 
interest.  A  great  deal  Is  made  of  the 
capture  of  a  trench  near  the  Lys  by  tlio 
Oej-mans.  but  we  arc  Inclined  to  think 
tUlii  Is  lagely  because  of  a  dearth  of 
more, important  tjew».  On  the  whole  the 
operations  of  the  AUIea  In  the  West 
were  aucceesful,  and  conaptcuoualy  so 
in  the  vicinity  of  Arras.  Succeaaes  that 
may  prove  important  for  the  Allies  are 
reported  from  Eastern  France  and  Al- 
ea«B. 


There  seems  to  be  no  question  as  to 
the  completeness  of  the  Russian  victory 
over  the  Austrlans,  who  have  been 
driven  back  across  th^e  Carpathians  with 
enormous  loss.  The  effect  of  this  in 
Hungary  and  Austria  can  hardily  fall  to 
be  very  serious,  coming  as  it  does  close 
upon  the  heels  of  the  disastrous  cam- 
paign against  Servia.  We  think  we  see 
sii«ns  of  disintegration  in  the  Dual  Al- 
liance. There  was  very  little  news 
from  the  German  forces  operating  in 
Poland.  Their  offensive  has  ceased  and 
the  Russians  seem  to  have  the  situation 
very  well  in  iiand.  The  expected  relief 
from  the  Austrian  forces  operating  in 
Gallcia  having  failed  to  materialize, 
General  von  Hindenburg  is  in  no  en- 
viable position.  Ho  will  not  be  able  to 
spare  any  men  for  the  ■\Vcstcrn  theatre 
of  war. 

Tlic  Turks  lilaim  to  have  had  some 
successes  in  Armenia,  but  Russia  does 
not  admit  it.  The  news  that  the  mas- 
sacre of  Armenians  has  begun  is  prob- 
ably true.  Such  outrages  have  been 
committted  without  half  as  good  an  o.k- 
cuse  as  the  proclamation  of  a  holy  war. 

Two  extraordinary  stories  have  come 
out  from  Germany,,  One  Is  that  300 
German  soldiers  in  the  West  have  re- 
fu.sed  to  light  and  have  been  sent 
manacled  to  Aix-la-ChapeUe  to  be  court- 
marlialled.  If  this  is  true  It  Indicates 
a  condition  in  the  German  army  that 
will  not  be  Improved  by  the  horrible 
spectacle  of  trainloads  of  corpses  being 
.sent  from  tlie  front  in  bundles  to  be 
burned  in  Germany. 

The  other  story,  which  comes  from 
Rotterdam  by  way  of  London,  tells  of 
a 'manifesto  to  be  issued  after  New 
Year".*!  to  llie  Socialists  of  the  world 
by  the  German  Humanity  League.  This 
manifesto  charges  the  whole  responsibil- 
ity for  the  war  upon  the  Kaiser,  and 
characterizes  it  in  terms  of  extreme 
denunciation.  The  manlf^to  emanates 
from  Rotterdam,  but  mo.5t  of  the  sig- 
natories ."ieem  to  be  Germans.  Tt  will 
.-surprise'  no,  tta*  if  tl^' -awful  horror 
which  the  policy  of  the  Kaiser  ha.s 
brought  upon  his  lountry  cail.s  forth  a 
very  mucl)  more  formidable  protest 
tlian   any    manifesto  can   possibly   be. 

A  report  say.s  that  the  Kaiser  l.s  at 
Cologne  and  that  ns,rtOO  men  Iiavo  gone 
towiirda  tlio  Western  Ijallle  line.-  AVc 
Kiiggpcted  a  few  days  ago  tliat-a  new 
attempt  might  be  made  to  pierce  th.) 
Allied  centre,  auil  yeftorday  morning'H 
dlspatohos  Intimated  tliat  this  was  ex- 
pected. Tlie  successes  or  ilii'  Allie-s  in 
tile  Argonnc  may  liave  tlu;  oltect  of  pre- 
venting .such  an  effort.  We  shall  he  sur- 
prised if  a  new  elTori  i.s  not  made  to 
break  the  line  ot  the  Allies  .somewhere, 
and  if,  upon  Its  failure,  a  general  re- 
tirement of  the  Germans  is  not  ordered.

dlMturtk  the  aoVtt  far  nl*nte  ttna«f''Whl«h 
th«y  had  grown  up  and  waxed  very  oom> 
fortable.  But  th*  reatlMa  pMpla  vera 
undaunted.  They  had  made  up  ttaeir 
mind  to  do  somethtnc  and  aometbinf 
was  done.  Uoon  uverybody  was  talkinc 
about  Victoria,  .\rter  much  perauaslon 
the  Canadian  I'acliKt  Railway  Company 
waa  Induced  to  put  on  flrat-olasa  steam- 
.rs  and  iheso  were  followed  by  the 
erection  of  the  Empreaa  Hotel.  Then 
we  proceeded  to  get  our  streets  in 
order,  and  were  able  to  invite  the  whole 
world  to  come  to  a  real  '•Victoria,  the 
IJeautlful,"  and  they  could  come  her* 
in  line  atrtanieis  and  stop  at  What  is 
the  last  word  in  high-clasa  hotels.  Also 
a  great  many  people  came  here  to  live, 
because  tliey  had  loarned  of  the  beau- 
ties of  the  place.  Incidentally  not  a  few 
of  tlie  people  not  in  sympathy  wltli  the 
restless  folk,  who  liaU  aroused  tliem 
from  their  contentment,  disposed,  of  a 
goodly  part  of  the  land,  which  had  been 
an  elephaui;  on  tlieir  hands  ever  .since 
they  could  remember,  and,  tell  it  not  in 
Gideon,  are  not  infrtitiuentiy  to  be  seen 
riding  in  luxurious  motor  cars  upon  our 
miles,,  of  unsurpassed  streets,  A,ll  this 
was  pretty  good  buslne.ss  and  we  hope 
to  see  more  of  it  carried  on. 

War  or  no  war,  1915  ought  to  be  a 
«ood  year,  for  this  city,  because  there 
is  going  to  bo  a  phenomenal  amount  of 
travel  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  Every  Sum- 
mer about  half  a  million  rich  people 
leave  the  United  States  for  a  European 
trip.  Some  of  them  are  not  as  rich  as 
others,  but  it  is  estimated  that  among 
them  they  spend  at  least  1100,000,000 
In  traveling  around  the  Old  World.  Not 
many  of  thorn  will  take  this  trip  next 
Summer,  even  though,  as  we  fondly 
hope,  peace  will  come  before  Spring. 
They  will  not,  however,  stay  at  home. 
The  Panama  Kxhibltlon  will  attract 
hundreds  of  thousands  ot  them  to  the 
Pacific  Coast.  Next  year  may  reason- 
ably be  expected  to  be  the  greatest 
ywr  or  western  travel  in  the  history  of 


Victoria   ought   lo    have

II. 


There  Is  one  branch  of  business  to  be 
done  In  Victoria,  wliicli  we  hope  ^•ery 
aiucerely  will  be  carried  on  "as  usual," 
and  it  Is  tlie  business  of  publicity.  It 
lias  been  said  that  tlie  time  to  adver- 
tise most  is  when  business  is  not  good. 
When  everything  is  humming,  advertis- 
ing Is  really  not  nearly  us  necessary  as 
11  is  when  money  has  to  be  coaxed  out 
of  the  pockets  of  those  who  have  It  to 
spend.  This  la  the  experience  of  suc- 
cesHful  business  men  all  the  world 
over.  Recently  there  was  publlfihcd  in 
an  Engliirii  magaxino  an  account  of  the 
advertising  campaign  of  a  great  llrm  of 
Boap  makers,  which  told  how  success 
was  wrested  from  the  Jaws  of  failure 
by  a  judicious  use  of  printer's  ink.  But 
this  Is  not  what  wo  started  out  to  say. 
TVUat  we  had  In  mind  was  municipal 
publicity: 

There  was  a  time  not  many  yeara  ago 
wh«n  Victoria  was  rarsljr  apolten  of 
except  by  its  residents  and  their  friends. 
To  the  vreat  body  of  ihe  publto  it  was 
a  WMne  and  nothtng  more.  By  a  few 
it  IVM  regtrded  «■  a  eleepy  sort  ef 
tilMtm,  eltliate^  on  an  island  and  of 
iMMMlty  iBSular.  Tlmea  belnc  rather 
dull  a  Tbnnet  Aeeociatlon  was  started. 
A  pt0pfiit&in  of  our  older  Inhabitants 
irer*  lAibekad.  To  them  It  seemed  that 
m  lit  ot  tWtkM  psopl*  wer«  colay  M 


the  continent, 
her  share  of 
create. 

We  draw  attention  to  a  fact  that  is 
not  often  considered  in  connection  witl» 
a  campaign  of  publicity.  Hundreds,  and 
possibly  thousands,  of  the  people  of  this 
community  have  invested  their  savings 
in  real  estate,  and  tlie  value  of  their 
property  and  the  facility  with  which 
tliey  can  And  purchasers  for  It  will  de- 
pend very  largely  upon  the  number  of 
people  who  can  be  attracted  to  this 
city.  The  great  movement  in  realty  of 
a  few  years  ago  resulted  from  publicity, 
and  publicity  is  needed  to  keep  up 
values.  Not  anything  lliat  was  then 
said  about  tlie  future  of  this  city  can- 
not now  be  said  with  truth.  We  have 
just  as  good  a  case  to  present  to  intend- 
ing homeseekers  and  Investors  as  ever 
we  had  and  a  better  one.  We  ought  not, 
in  fairness  to  our  own  people,  to  liesi- 
tate  about  entering  upon  a  campaign  of 
publicity.  There  has  been  a  disposition 
upon  the  part  of  some,  v.'ho  are  always 
wise  after  tlie  event,  to  display  very 
little  sympathy  for  persons  who  bought 
realty  in  perfectly  good  faith;  but  this 
practice  of  belittling  the  efforts  of  those 
who  believed  in  the  future  of  Victoria, 
and  thought  it  wise  to  endeavor  to  profit 
by  it.  Is  calculated  to  work  a  great  in- 
jury to  the  community.  Every  property 
owner  in  Victoria  stands  to  gain 
directly  by  a  campaign  of  publicity.  We 
Ivave  spent  millions  upon  our  streets, 
our -water  supply  and  our  sowers:  we 
have  made  •  Victoria  a  first-class  city. 
It  will  be  good  business  to  see  that  the 
world  knows  what  we  have  done,  and 
there  never  has  been  and  there  will  not 
be  for  years  to  cohie  as  good  an  oppor- 
tunity of  dolngr  so  as  Is  at  our  hand 
now. 

Tlie  .report  of  Commissioner  Cuthbert 
of  the  r^ii!lti>  of  bis  recent  trip  to  East- 
ern passenger  traffic  centres  was  laid 
before  the  Industrial  and  Development 
Association  yesterday.  it  is  so  very 
long  that  it  cannot  be  printed  in  full, 
and  it  would  lose  very  much  by  sum- 
marizing. W'c  may  nay.  however,  that 
never  was  there  such  an  opportunity  to 
make  Victoria  known  to  tlic  traveling 
public  as  there  is  now,  owing  to  the 
splendid  manner  In  which  the  transpor- 
tation companies  are  ready  to  co- 
operate with  any  efforts  we  may  make 


BK]rXVOX.EirT   -VfOBK 


\Vc  ha\e  a  lifter-  from  a  soldier, 
whose  signature  Is  not  riuitf  as  legible 
a.s  il  miglU  bo,  and,  therefore,  we  can- 
not print  it;  but  lie  makes  a  point  of 
sonic  Importance.  He  says  he  thinks 
the  soldleis  would  be  willing  to  give  a 
part  of  their  pay  to  the  unomployed,  but 
that,  before  they  are  asked  to  do  so, 
there  ought  to  be  some  public  statement 
of  the  manner  in  which  the  large 
amounts  rai.scd  in  various  ways  for 
benevolent  ])urposc8  have  been,  and  are 
being,  expended.  .V  similar  opinion  has 
be*n  expressed  by  other  correspondents 
So  frwiuently  that  wo  have  thouglit  It 
advisable  to  get  an  authoritative 
ftfltenicni.  The  nature  of  the 
queries  put  to  us  is  as  to 
tho  t'la»3  of  people  receiving  assist- 
ance, the  condillous  necessary  to  en- 
title a  person  to  receive  It,  and  the 
magnitude  of  the  probable  demand.  We 
are  also  asked  what  precautions  are 
taken  to  prevent  overlapping  of  effort. 
Wo  are  quite  well  aware  that  this  in- 
formation Is  readily  obtainable  by 
personal  Inriulry  from  any  of  the  or- 
ganiratlons,  but  many  people  think  they 
ought  not  to  havti  to  malte  personal  In- 
quiries and  >hHt  their  motives  might  be 
misconstrued   if   they  did   so. 

There  are  three  organlsalions  of  a 
public  or  nuaal  public  nature  In  exist- 
ence, whieh  deal  with  oases  requlrinc 
relief:  the  Patriotic  Fund,  the  Friendly 
Help  and  the  Salratlon  Arnijr.  Tho 
scope  of  the  work  of  the  Patriotic 
Kund  comes  ander  two  heads.  The 
primary  object  It,  to  relieve  the  wives 
and  fammes  of  men  who  have  volon- 
teered  for  active  sM-vlee,  whetliitr  at 
home  or  abroad;  the  «w«BHtM'y  oW«ot  Is 


to  iMNHIde  relief  fbr  saeh  families  as  la 
the  opinion  of  the  trustees  may  be  en* 
titled  to  it  because  their  bread-winner* 
have  been  thrown  out  of  employment 
beeause  of  conditions  arising  out  of  the 
war.  We  undorstand  that,  up  to  the 
present,  notbinc  has  been  done  under 
the  seoOndary  department  of  the  fund's 
work.  The  Dau(hters  of  the  Empire 
act  in  conjunction  with  the  Patriotls 
Ki;nd  and  have  not  charged  themselves 
with  any  sreclfic  obligation  to  see  that 
the  refiulrements  of  any  class  of  Indi- 
viduals are  supplied.  Tho  Patriotic 
I'und  does  not  extend  relief  to  persons 
not  coming  wlthing  either  of  the  clas8<'8 
above  mentioned. 

The  Friendly  Help  is  intended  to  see 
to  the  relief  of  nil  i)er.sonM  rCMldlna  in 
the  city,  who  are  not  assisted  other- 
wise. If.  for  any  reason  whatever,  a 
I'Hmlly  residing  In  the  city  is  in  need 
of  rellof,  the  Friendly  Help  may  bo 
applied  to.  If  the  case  Is  one  that 
comes  within  tho  scope  of  tlio  Patriotic 
Fund,  the  applicants  may  be  afforded 
temporary  assistance  if  it  Is  absolutely 
UfccesiBary,  but  tho  applicant  would  be 
referred,  to  the  Patriotic  Fund  for  a 
continuation  of  relief.  The  Friendly 
Help  I.s  supported  by  voluntary  contri- 
butions, but  whefe.il iA  -ifi- JMfill"  of 
money,  the  City  Council  supplies  it. 

The  Salvation  Army  confines  its  ef- 
forts chiefly  to  providing  work  for 
those  who  re(iulrc  It.  It  depends  for 
its  revenue  upon  voluntary  subscrip- 
tions and  tho  sale  of  wood.  It  en- 
deavors to  find  worl^  for  those  who 
need  tt,  and  wo  arc  told  that  it  has  a 
considerably  greater  number  of  appli- 
cants than  it  can  provide  with  employ- 
ment. ' 

In  respect  to  overlapping  of  relief, 
our  information  is  that  this  has  been 
reduced  to  a  minimum,  and,  in  point  of 
fact,  it  very  rarely  occurs  now  that  tho 
relief  work  has  been  systematized. 
iJareful  inquiry  is  made  into  every  case. 
We  afc,  6f  Couirse,  unable  to  Bay  if  the 
work  Of  the  minor  organizations,  of 
which  we  understand  there  are  several 
in  the  city,  overlaps  that  done  by  those 
above  refeVfeiTTa  THrs^nni  inatter 
that  must,  of  necessity,  be  left  wholly 
to  these  minor  organii-itions.  There  is 
probably  no  overlapping  worth  con- 
sideration. 

There  in  no  way  of  ascertaining  at 
present  what  will  be  the  demands  for 
relief.  There  has  been  abundant  to  meet 
all  requirements  so  far,  and  we  see  no 
reason  to  expect  a  shortage,  but  there 
aio  obvious  reasons  wliy  it  is  Impos- 
sible to  suggest  any  approximate 
amount  that  will  be  required.  This 
remark  applies  especially  to  the  I'atrl- 
otie  Fund,  whieh,  in  the  very  nature  of 
tho  case,  cannot  foresee  the  extent  of 
the  demanda  that  will   be  made  tipon  it. 

We  think  we  have  answered  all  the 
inaulries  that  have  been  made,  except 
as  to  the  persons  receiving  as.-ji stance 
and  the  amounts  that  have  been  and 
arc  being  expended.  It  is  premature, 
and  might  be  misleading  to  go  into  de- 
tails on  thr.se  points  at  present.  Tho 
overhead  charges  are  very  light.  In 
the  case  of  the  Patriotic  Fund,  only  two 
persons  arc  under  salary,  and  the  sum 
total  of  their  pay  Is  about  |I&Oaraonth. 
The  other  charges  are  only  the  small 
incidental  offiCB  expenses.  The  affairs 
ot  tho  Friendly  Help  arc  managed  by 
the  lady  who  has  had  this  work  in 
charge  for  srvcral  years.  She  receives 
a  fmall  salary  from  tlie  city.  The  ser- 
vices Of  Mr.  Swinerton,  secretary  and 
treastiror  of  the  Patriotic  Fund,  are 
honorary.  Ho  has  neither  received,  nor 
does  he  expect  to  receive  anything  what- 
ever  for   Ills    very    valuable  work.

'AM.B  AW. 


Tliu  killing  of  one  man  and  the 
woundin*  of  another  by  sentries  at 
Port  Erie  ia  a  very  regrettable  affair. 
If  It  is  true,  as  reported,  that  the  men 
were  going  aWay  when  the  fatal  shot 
was  Bred,  the  act  of  the  sentry  was 
without  excuse.  In  such  a  case  every 
reparation  poaslble  ought  to  be  made  by 
the    Canadian   Government. 

Two  observations  seem  to  be  timely 
In  this  connection.  One  Is  that  persona 
ought  to  be  careful  in  time  of  war  to 
obey  orders  given  by  sentries.  The 
cases  have  not  been  v<-ry  numerous,  yet 
tliero  liave  been  not  a  few  of  them,  in 
which  civilians  around  Victoria  ha.ve 
seen  IH  to  disregard  such  orders.  That 
they  do  so  at  their  own  risk  cannot.  Ijo 
too    generally   understood. 

The  other  observation  is  that  sentries 
ought  not  to  be  too  ready  to  tire  upon 
porpons  violating  their  orders.  Every- 
body does  not  know  Just  how  to  act 
when  a  sentry  cliallen^es  htm,  and  a 
very  careful  discretion  ought  always  to 
be  exercised  where  the  circumstancca 
are  such  as  virtually  to  preclude  the 
probability  of  there  being  any  intention 
of  doing  wrong  on  the  part  .of  the  per- 
sons challenged. 


Replying  to  a  query:  The  Czarina,  be- 
fore her  marriage,  -was  the  Princess 
Ahx  of  Hesse.  Her  father  was  the 
Grand  Duke  Frederick  of  Hesse,  and  her 
mother  the  Princess  Alice.  second 
<iaughter  of  Queen  Victoria.  The  Czar 
being  son  of  a  sister  of  Queen  Alex- 
andra, both  he  and  his  wife  are  cousins 
o::  the  King.  We  do  not  think  the 
Cisarlna  Is  related  by  blood  to  tho 
Duchess  of  Connaught.  She  may  be, 
for  German  royalties  are  more  or  less 
connected. — bnt — arty — relatluuship — rtiat- 
may  exist  between  the  Czarina  and  ilie 
Duchess,  must   be   quite    remote. 


LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


The  Senate 
Sir,— The  custom  is  when  a  member 
has  been  absent  from  his  seat  for  two 
consecutive  sessions  for  the  clerk  to 
announce  at  the  first  sitting  of  tho 
Senate  that  so  and  so  has  been  absent 
two  sessions.  1  did  not  wait  for  that 
proccH.M.  but  resigned  my  seat  four 
months  ago,  and  informed  the  Dominion 
Prenii<-r  that  I  did  so  to  enable  him  to 
fill  the  vacancy  as  soon  as  he  wished  to 
do  BO.     1  wish  success  to  my  successor.

Sir  Robert  Borden  interpreted  tho  will 
of  the  Canadian  people,  when,  in  his 
Winnipeg  speech,  he  said  that  what  re- 
mains to  be  done  whereby  we  can  help 
towards  insuring  \lctory'in  the  war  will 
only  be  limited  by  the  need  of  men.  The 
speech  we  can  readily  believe  wa.s  one' 
of  the  best  he  has  made  in  his  can-er. 
Its  language  was  admirably  chosen,  ac- 
cording well  with  tii<!  greatness  of  the 
theme.  We  notice  that  he  paid  a  high 
tribute  to  the  response  made  In  tho  West 
to  the  call  of  duty.  It  Is  very  satis- 
factory to  learn  from  one  in  his  position 
that  h(^  considers  this  portion  of  the 
Dominion  is  doing  well.  But  the  unity 
of  purpose  l;f'ri.  is  common  to  all  ''x-.- 
i.da  and  to  \h:i  Empire  as  a  whole. 
This  spirit,  as  the  J'rimo  Minister 
sajs,  will  msTk  an  epoch  in  the  history 
of  Inter-Imperial  relations.  .Never  was 
the  justice  of  a  cause  so  Incradicably 
impressed  on  such  an  immense  portion 
of  the  world's  population  nor  dii  we 
bc-Iii.'Ve  that  th^  resources  and  will  pow- 
er wtre  ever  greater  to  Insure  the  .final 
triumph.  Sir  Robert  has  said  in  striking 
language  what  is  In  the  minds  of  all. 
He  has  once  again  proved  his  title  to 
speak  for  the  Dominion  un  a  mutter 
which  affects  her  ploce  In  t.io  Billlab 
Empire. 

XiSATZva  roB  rmowT 

It  la  a  high  compliment  lo  thu  troops 
here,  and  one  that  will  be  readily  ad- 
mitted that  Wiree  officers  i.ii  124  noi.- 
ccmmlssloncd  officers  and  men  sl.ouid 
have  been  selected  as  re.s-irv'a  for  tho 
Princess  Patricia  Regiment  which  ia 
now  at  the  front.  Those  selected  will 
presumably  go  straight  ti  Vic.  conM- 
r.cnt.  The  fact  that  Viciorl*  should 
have  been  chosen  as  the  'point  from 
which  reserves  are  drawn  shows  that 
the  military  authorities  recocnixe  the 
advaneed  state  of  tralnlnc  that  has  )H:en 
reaOhed  by  the  troops  here.  All  otbcrs, 
with  the  exception  of  British  nes<!rvos, 
who  have  left  this  country  to  take  part 
in  the  war  !iDve  had  to  undergo  ttielr 
final  tralnl.is  In  Enc'and  before  belne 
dispatched  i^  the  front.  The  officers 
and  men  who  have  been  selected  wilt 
keenly  apprectste  this  aeknowledrroent

Sir — I  notice  In  The  Colonist  of  the  20th 
an  interesting  letter  regarding  the  Cas- 
cara  hark  Industry.  1  have  seen  this 
while  prospecting  in  the  hills.  1  would 
like  to  know  If  it  can  be  gathered  any 
time,  and  If  you  could  let  me  know 
the  address  of  parties  dealing  in  this, 
as  I  might  do  something  at  this  when 
other  work  Is  close<l  down.  I  would 
like  to  know  prices  and  how  put  up.  1 
have  con>e  across  (juantilleK  of  the  Ore-

The  Tutnre  of  Tlotorla 

Sir. — As  a  largi;  ratepayer,  I  have 
been  greatly  Interested  in  the  corre- 
spondence carried  on  In  the  public 
press  on  the  subject  of  reducing  civic 
expenditures.  It  seenis  to  be  so  abso- 
lutely necessary,  that  I  cannot  under- 
stand how  anyone  can  advocate  any 
oti-.er  cause  or  how  they  ran  fall  to 
see  that  what  is  wanted  Is  not  a  slight 
re^QXictlon,  but  a  heavy  cut.  Previous 
writers  have  referred  to  the  school  and 
sanitary  departments.  May  I  bo  per- 
mitted to  ciUI  attention  to  "civic  ex- 
penditures." These,  including  Mayor, 
Council,  and  civic  salaric!*.  lia\o  grown 
as  follows;  1910.  »30,750;  \'.ni,  131,040; 
I'.'IJ,   145.065;    TJin,   $55,510,  1914,162,007. 

In  view  of  such  an  cnormouH  Increase, 
it  is  surely  time  to  revive  tho  proposal 
on  which  the  public  understood  th* 
Council  was  agreed  tliree  nionihR  ago, 
vlx.,  to  reduce  civic  salaries,  somewhat 
on  tho  scull.'  of  the  Vancouver  reduc- 
tion, which  ranges  from  10  to  25  per 
cent.  Personally,  I  tliink  tho  Mjij-or 
and  Aldermen  siiould  be  patriotic 
CTiongh  to  lead  the  way.  The  Mayor 
could  manage  for  iniu  with  the  old 
siilarv-  of  12.000,  and  for  one  j-ear  the 
.Milernien  couKi  well  afford  to  emulate 
ticir  confreres  In  the  Old  Country  and 
a'ccpt  no  jiay  for  public  .sorvlcea.  If 
tids  were  done,  T  br-llcvc  It  wotild  bo  so 
popular  a  move  that  there  would  be  no 
civic  I'lection  this  year  and  that  expen- 
diture would   be  saved.

TraJe  reciprocity  with  Australia  was 
dlMcussed  at  lensl'i  at  ye.ftwday'B  meet-

Tradf.  and  aa  a  result,  »  resolution 
will  bi>  prepared  and  scat  to  the  Aus-

out  the  desirability  of  the  estabJlsh- 
mont  of  a  trade  preference  between 
Britain's    two    jjreatest   coloniea. 

A  wire  from  Sir  Oeorge  E.  Foster. 
Minister  of  Trado  and  Commerce.  In- 
timated to  the  local  Board  that  there 
was  a  prospect  of  the  British  Govern- 
ment letting  a  large  contract  for  mil- 
itary clothing  In  Canada.  The  wire  alBO 
urged  that.  If  Victoria  manufacturers 
wished  to  share,  they  should  send  a 
representative  to  Montreal  at  once. 
I^ocal  manufactui-ers  were  immediately 
advised  and  steps  are  being  taken  to 
insure  a  portion  of  the  contract  coming 
to   this  city. 

A  communication  from  Mr.  K.  J. 
Burns,  assistant  general  freight  agent 
of  the  Groat  Northern  Railway,  was 
received  In  response  to  recent  com- 
plaints as  to  the  handling  of  freight 
shipped  by  the  Victoria  &  Sidney  Rail- 
way to  the  mainland.  Mr.  Burns'  let- 
ter  read  as  follow.?; 

'•\Ve  have  been  able  to  work  out  a 
new  arrangement  on  less  than  carload 
shipments  destined  to  points  on  the 
Mainland  on  our  lliie  whereby  new  ar- 
rangements in  the.se  shipments  will  give 
our  friends  In  Victoria  much  better 
service."  Mr.  Bums  will  be  thanked  by 
the  Board:  •• 

The  Calgary  Board  of  Trade  forward- 
od  a  communication  recommending  that 
an  inrfustrlal  branch  be  added  to  the  De- 
partment  of  Interior  at  Ottawa  for  the 
purpose  of  collecting  and  compiling  data 
on  Canadian  natural  resources.  The 
Council  sent  the  letter  ou  to  Sir  Ricliard 
McBrldo  asking  If  thi<  office  of  the 
.\  gent-General  could  he  used  In  this 
connection. 

The  succcs.s  in  the  recent  protest  to 
the  Pomlnion  Railway  Board  regarding 
a  c'liange  In  freight  rates  on  shipments 
of  mixed  groceries  wa.s  recorded  and

Commissioner's  Report  on 
Steps  to  Attract  Tourists 
Stiows  Transportation  Con- 
cerns Will  Co-operate. 


That  Victoria  Is  recelvtn^  a  great 
amount  of  publicity  through  the  work 
of  the  Victoria  and  l.sland  Development 
A.Hsociation  In  a  manner  most  system- 
atic, and  that  It  would  be  nothing  short 
of  a  calamity  If  the  work  now  being 
Ijrosi'curted  by  Commi.ssloncr  Cuthbert 
werr;  to  lap.ie,  was  the  unanimou.s  opin- 
ion of  the  members  of  the  Association 
who  met  yesterday  afternoon  to  hear 
tht  ri-iori  of  the  commissioner  on  the 
v.ork  done  by  him  on  his  recent  trip  to 
Kjistern  points.  The  report  showed  that 
the  leading  passenger  traffic  men  of 
tho  larsest  transportation  companies 
operating  In  the  West  and  Middle  West 
in  Canada  and  the  United  States,  were 
heartily  in  accord  With  the  work  of  the 
itssorlation;  were  ready  to  assist  in  this 
■work  to  their  utmost  ability;  and,  Com- 
missioner Cuthbert  stated  to  the  meet- 
ing, have  placed  at  his  disposal  means 
olf  reaching  the  various  ticket  agents  In 
a  manner  that  could  not  be  done  with- 
out sucn  assistance.  The  railway  men 
Intervlowed  were  such  prominent  offi- 
cials as  Mr.  A.  C.  .Shaw,  gonerat  pas- 
senger agent  for  the  whole  of  the  C.  I*. 
R.  lines  west  of  Port  Arthur;  Mr,  W, 
R.  tJalloway,  general  passenger  agent, 
at  Minneapolis,  of  the  Soo  Line;  Mr. 
Cleland,  as.sistant  general  passenger 
pgent  of  the  Soo  line;  Mr.  Nicholson, 
(assistant  passenger  agent  at  St.  I'aul, 
of  the  Great  Northern  Railway;  Mr. 
Walton,  C.  P.  R.,  agent,  and  Mr.  G.  V. 
Haynes,  genei^I  passenger  agent  of  the 
Chicago,  Milwaukee  and  St.  Paul  Rail- 
way; Mr.  Morrison,  of  the  Santa  Fe 
route,  and  other  prominent  traffic  men 
Of  Chicago.  At  Toronto,  representatives 
of  the  chief  Canadian  lines  were  seen, 
and  at  Montreal.  Mr.  Usher,  head  of  the 
(.'.  P.  R.  passenger  service,  took  a  keen 
Interest  In  the  work  of  the  association, 
e^eclally  In  respect  of  land  develop- 
ment. At  many  points  Victoria  receive*! 
pT&mlnent  newspaper  reference  an  a  re- 
sult of  the  coraml.^sloner'e  visit,  and  a 
supply  of  literature  InsueiJ  by  the  asao- 
cifi'tlon  Is  in  the  handa  of  practically 
every  ticket  agent  throughont  the  Can- 
adian Weat,  thus  greatly  assisting  tho 
object  for  which  X^ommissloner  Cuth- 
bert made  hia  tour — the  encouragement 
of  Winter  travel  from'the  prairie  rco- 
tlona  to. this  city. 

In  iiainmarlsing  the  remilt  of  hla  trip. 
Commiailtnter  Cuthbert  pointed  out  that 
Victoria,  throuch  the  Atmoclatlon,^  wouia 
be  thoroughly  In  touch  with  all  orsan- 
l«ed  travel  to  the  Paoieic  Coaat  naoct 
yuar.  The  fact  that  more  attention  had 
been  patd  to  the  diatrlbuUon  of  Iitera> 
ture  in  tho  right  places  than  In  tha 
quantity  dkitilbiited  meant  tha,t  the  boat 
romlta  wottM  be  attained.  Thla  faatora 
Of  the  work  receive^  the  (eneroua  ap>

Of  every  ortantsatlon  at  praaerit  known 
to  b«  «ornitrv  to  San  r'raneia«o  next 
year,  and.  in  addllim,  the  pertnlsaton 
of  tho  haada  of  elcht  irreat  railway  sya- 
taia%  thM,  ab  thatr  AvmoM  pf.41aMftv 


tlon  win  be  open  to  the  Aaaoclation,  haa 
been  readily  yranted.  The  commla- 
aloner  pointed  out  that  when  It  was 
realiaed  that  tbeae  rallwaya  were  epend- 
Ing  IS.OOd.OOO  to  attract  vtaltoni  to  the 
Facltlc  Coast  next  year,  the  advantasea 
to  be  derived  through  thla  co-operation 
with  the  rallwaya  could  not  be  ejtag* 
g  crated. 

Commissioner  (*uthbert  drew  the  con- 
cluaion  from  the  resulta  of  hia  visit 
that  this  would  be  a  moHt  Inopportune 
time  to  atop  the  wprk  just  as  It  had 
been  so  atioceaafully  instituted,  and  he 
urged  that  Victorians  unite  In  a  deter. 
mined  effort  to  "booat"  for  Victoria. 

An  Idea  of  the  readiness  with  which 
the  chief  railway  heads  met  the  com- 
inlMsionor's  iilea  for  co-operation  was 
gained  by  the  meeting  when  It  was 
slated  by  Commissioner  Cuthbert  that 
several  of  the  leading  railway  lines 
voluntarily  offered  to  arrange  that 
their  agents  should  «&*;  in  attendance  at 
any  lectures  which  the  Victoria  Asso- 
olalion  might  see  fit  to  give  next  year 
at  various  points.  It  was  suggested  that 
this  was  a  splendid  method  of  advertis- 
ing and  posting  the  men  who  sold  the 
tickets  and  who  came  closer  to  the  pub- 
lic   than    any   other   agency. 

The  report  of  the  commissioner 
touched  upon  many  other  points  dealing 
with  the  publicity  campaign,  and  clearly 
ItidlcateJ  that,  while  on  his  trip  he 
spared  no  effort  to  advance  the  work  of 
the   Association. 

.vir.  C.  H.  Lugrin  urged  that  the  asso- 
ciation place  upon  record  its  appreci- 
nllon  of  the  work  done  by  the  commis- 
sioner. Alderman  Todd,  in  .-iccondlng 
the  motion,  declared  that  the  work  done 
so  far  by  the  organization,  and  chiefly 
under  tho  personal  direction  of  Mr. 
Cuthbert,  had  proved  most  satisfactory. 
The  public  market  had  proved  a  suc- 
cess; the  "made-ln-Vlctorla"'  fair  was  a 
great  step  towards  encouraging  home 
industries,  and,  while  .some  of  tho 
schemes  had  not  proved  as  successful 
as  might  have  boon  wisiied,  it  was  not 
for  lack  of  earnest  endeavor,  but  rather 
the  unsatisfactory  conditions  now  pre- 
vailing. It  would  be  a  most  serious 
mistake  to  drop  tho  work  at  this  stage, 
Alderman    Todd    .staled. 

There  was  some  discussion  on  the  fi- 
nancial feature  of  the  work,  but  this 
will  be  further  considered  by  the  ex- 
ecutive committee  at  an  early  meeting, 
to  whtoh — a  d«put-Mt4on— from — the— €frte- 
Retrenchment  Association  will  be  In- 
vited. 

Those  present  at  the  meeting  were: 
Alderman  Okell,  chairman,  and  Alder- 
men Porter,  Boll,  MoMlcklng.  Sargent, 
Todd  and  McNeill;  Messrs.  F.  A.  r.Tu-

orated  Xooma 


-Vt  the  Day  Nursery  on  King's  Road, 
babies  and  their  mothers  crowded 
round  the  pretty  Christmas  tree  which 
Ml.ss  Jay  and  her  sister  Miss  Gertrude 
had  dressed  for  them.  Overhead  wore 
long  streamers  In  all  the  colors  of  the 
rainbow,  and  Heated  on  the  floor  were 
the  babies,  while  the  older  children 
formed  a  semicircle  behind  thcin.  Mrs. 
Jenkins  was  in  attendance  as  Santa 
('laus,  and  the  cheery  matron,  JIrs, 
llarwood,  took  the  parcels  from  the  tree. 
There  were  twenty-eight  children  al- 
tog«thcr,  and  every  one  was  given 
many  playthings  and  sweets,  and 
when  these  had  been  admired,  each  re- 
ceived, carefully  wrapped  up,  a  nice  now 
gitrment. 

No  one  looking  on  would  have  thought 
lliat  the  mothers  of  these  plump,  clean, 
smiling  little  folk  were  having  a  hard 
struggle  to  make  a  living  in  these  days. 
The  Rev.  ISrnest  Miller,  of  St.  Barnabas, 
and  the  Rev.  F.  A.  P.  Chadwlck,  shared 
In  the  fun  and  helped  to  make  it  more 
nulsy. 

Mrs.  Hardy,  Mrs.  Gordon  Grant  and 
Mrs.  Jay,  who  have  been  good  friends 
of  the  D.ay  Nursery,  were  busy  enter- 
taining or  watcJting  and  sharing  in  the 
delight   of  the   children. 

Many  of  the  toys  were  given  by  the 
Spencer's,  Mr.  Chrlste.nsou  and  tho  Gor- 
don's. The  clothing  was  donated  by 
friends  or  members  of  the  committee.- 
During  the  day  presents  amounting  to 
$34  were  received  and  will  greatly  as- 
sist the  work.  * 

The  staff  now  consists  of  Mrs.  Har- 
wood.  Mrs.  Kdwards  and  Miss  Bishop, 
and  the  Children's  Aid  Society  Is  using 
the  institution  as  a  home  for  the  good 
little  girls  who  come  under  their 
charge.  If  these  are  old  enough  they 
will  be  taught  how  to  tnlt.e  care  of  tho 
babies  and  thus  be  fitted  to  take  places 
as   nursemaids.

wards  the  massed  lines,  without  even  a 
thouglit  of  the  deadly  shrapnel  and  tho 
xlfle  Are.  They  swung  out  in  wonderful 
ordiT,  with  many  a  Jest  and  laugh,  and 
iiotwith.ftandlng  the  din  of  battle  from 
somewhere  close  at  hand,  could  bo  heard 
the   lilt  of   'Scots  awa'.' 

"They're  turning  tail,  lads,  hurrah," 
yelled  somebody,  and  «urc  enough  tho 
Germans  had  had  enough  of  cold  steel 
and  they  were  scrambling  and  thrusting 
through  the  lines  of  their  comrades  In 
the  rear  with  curses  and  shrieks  that 
made  tho  night  hideous.  "With  renewed 
energy  and  wild  hurrahs  the  British 
chased  the  (lying  foe  and  were  with 
difficulty  restrained  from  following 
them  into  the  main  body.  Picking  up 
their  wounded  and  passing  swift  com- 
mentaries, they  got  bade  to  their  posts, 
and  upon  discovering  that  a  relief  party 
had  entrenched  themselves  In  the  dug- 
outs they  had  occupied  for  several  days, 
they  burst  into  one  harmonious  hurrah, 
and  though  dog  tired  and  drenched  to 
the  skin  they  merrily  scurried  to  the 
camps  In  the   rear  of  the  battle  line. 

Sitting  round  the  camp  fire,  too  tired 
and  unablo  to  sleep  for  the  pouring 
rain,  a  group  foregathered.  First  one 
and  then  another  tohl  a  yarn  or  .sung 
a  song.  Whilst  Bobby  I'Meld  was  sing- 
ing "BollPd  Beef  and  Carrots"  a  bullet 
whistled  amongst  them,  and  just  as  he 
had  sung  "Carrots"  his  hat  was  shot 
off  his  head,  revealing  his  shock  of 
carroty  hair,  and  a  perfect  yell  of 
laughter  burst  from  those  about  him, 
one  of  tho  officers  nearly  dying  of 
laughter.  "Begorrah,  but  I'll  spit  that 
son  of  a  pig."  roared  Murphy,  and,  re- 
gardless of  the  officer's  remonstrance, 
^Murphy  ei)rang  away  into  the  darkness 
In  search  of  the  .«(niper.  He  was  so 
long  away  that  his  companions  went 
in  search  of  him  and  found  him  lying 
at  the  foot  of  a  big  tree  with  a  bullet 
through  hl.s  log  and  his  bayonet  stuck 
through  the  body  of  a  German,  who 
had  been  .sniping  from  ona  of  the 
branches   overhead. 

"Glory  be."  grinned  .Murphy.  "1 
thought  I'd  have  to  ctari  orav.'Iing  hack 
to  yez  or  got  stuck  meself  by  wan  of 
them  biwsled  sausages  when  diiylight 
come." 

Murphy  Iiad  located  tha  'blighter' 
high  up  in  the  tree,  brought  him  down 
with  a  shot  and  then  stuck  him  like  a 
pig    to    I  ho    ground. 

"He'H  -snipe  no  more,"  growled  a 
sergeant,  turning  the  German  over  aa 
he  withdrew    the   bayonet. 

As  they  carried  Murphy  bsc'.s  to  tho 
camp  Ihiy  heard  a  gro.in  ne,ar  at  hand 
and  some  of  the  fellows  want  to  wee 
who  It  was.  They  found  a  .<«ergeant  of 
the  Yorkuhlre  Light  Infantry  mortally 
wounded   with  ehrapncl  and   rille  shots, 

"No,  don't  move  me:  I'm  done  for," 
he  murmured  with  difficulty.  Somebody 
put  a  flask  to  his  lips  and  his  eyes 
lighted  up  and  his  voice  grew  stronger. 
"My  name  Is  Jim  Scholefleld  and  I'm 
from  Sheffield.  Ono  of  you  drop  me 
dear  lass  a  line,  telling  her  T  died  doing 
my  duty,  facing  tho  foe  wi'  all  the 
spunk  in  my  nature.  Poor  lass.  God 
help  her.  She's  expecting  another 
wean,  and  for  all  I  know  It'll  be  here  as 
I'm  snuffing  the  candle.  Goa  save  the 
people  and  help  my  bairns.  Tell  her 
1     sent    .    ,     .      my     love  .     .     and 

my  last  thought  .  .  .  was  of  .  .  . 
her,  and  .  .  .  her  agony.  I'm  not 
complaining  .  .  .  but  ....  I 
wish     ..." 

Not  an  eye  was  dry  »h  they  reverent- 
ly pressed  down  the  eyelids  over  those 
staring  eyes,  straining  through  the 
night  towards  the  faces  of  the  loved 
ones  at  home.  O,  the  pity  of  It.  V^».t 
Is  a  horrible  thing.  Well  might  the 
Both  railway  porter  say   to  the  Kaiser: 

"lou   have  wronged  for  the  Day, 
You   have  longed   for   the  Day 

That  lit  the  awful  flame.

That    widows    mourn     for    their    loved

**Busiiiess  as  Usual" 


Not  only  i.s  it  a  good  business  policy;  it  is  a  duty  every  British 
business  man  owes  to  the  Empire.  It  i,s  being  adhered  to  in  the 
Old  Land,  where  the  slogan  originated.  Most  local  business 
men  arc  living  up  to  it,  too. 

Let's  give  hard  times  as  little  encouragement  as  possible.  Let's 
boycott  them;  let's  refrain  ■from  discussing  them  or  admitting 
their  existence. 

Advertising  as  Usual 

Is  another  motto  implied  in  the  first.  It's  a  mistake  to  think 
you  are  retrenching  wisely  by  cutting  out  your  newspaper  space. 
Judicious  advertising  is  your  most  able  salesman.  The  amount 
of  foreign — i.e.,  outside  advertising — in  The  Colonist  has  increased 
since  the  war  began.  Outsiders  realize  the  possibilities  in  Your 
field  and  the  ability  of  good  adverti.sing  to  "cash  in"  on  those 
possibilities. 

Retrench    wisely.       Don't    cut    out    your    sdvertisinc:

have  been  defaulted,  are  not  being  Im- 
mediately  dealt  with.  In  the  majority 
of  cases  a  delay  of  three  months  is 
allowed.  This  is  done  as  the  courts 
express  the  opinion  that,  under  the  ex- 
ceptional conditions,  the  public  should 
be  given  the  fullest  possible  protection.

FIRE  IN  ESQUIMALT 

BwaUing   os    Old    Zaquimalt  Xoad   Be- 

atroyad  While  raaUly  Xi 

Abaeat 


Fire  completely  destroyed  the  home 
of  Mr.  W.  Brlckwrli  on  the  old  Ksqul- 
malt  Road,  between  Lanipson  Street  and 
the  city  limits,  at  0:15  o'clock  last 
evening.  No  fire  protection  was  avail- 
able  as  the  building  was  outside  the 
city.  The  family  was  ahsent  at  the 
time  fire  broke  out  and  the  cause  is 
consequentlj-,  unknown.  The  building 
was  worth  about  11.000.  The  contents 
were  totally  destroyed.  The  dwelling 
was  owned  by  Mr,  Thomas  Pearson. 

A  larg«  crowd  gathered  to  witness 
the  blaze,  which  was  so  brilliant  as  to 
create  a  belief  In  the  city  that  one  of 
the  mills  was  burning.  Another  alarm 
was  sent  In  from  the  corner  of  Bay 
and  Turner  Streets  by  some  one  who 
.saw  the  reflection  and  .supposed  it  was 
In  the  mill  district  near  Point  EUlce 
Bridge. 


HANDSOME  CONTRIBUTION

Balglan  Belief  Committee — anbaerlp- 

tloaa  Contlnua  to  Be  BecelTed 


.\  donation  of  an  unusual  character 
iias  l)een  received  by  Mr.  W.  S.  Terry, 
Iionorary  secretary  of  the  Belgian  Re- 
lief Fund  committee,  from  Mr.?.  F.  J. 
Croxford,  of  Happy  Valley.  It  is  in 
the  form  of  a  large  tablecloth,  or  couch 
cover,  whicli  lia.M  been  worked  from 
over  UOO  Hags  of  various  nationalities. 
These  small  emblems  are  woven  to- 
gether most  artistically  and  the  effect 
Is  Improved  by  a  border  of  "red,  white 
and  blue"  on  the  two  sides  and  the  Bel- 
gian colors  on  either  end.  In  the  cor- 
ners are  sewn  the  flags  of  the  Allloe^ 
namely,  France,  Russia,  Japan  and  Bel- 
Sinm.  The  centre  is  set  off  with  two 
beautiful  Union  Jacks.  In  making  the 
presentation  Mrs.  (.'roxford  expressed 
tlie  hope  that  thanks  would  be  extended 
to  the  many  friends  who  aided  her  in 
making  the  collection  of  nags  which 
h.ave  lieen  so  tastefully  arranged.  The 
committee  luis  not  decided  In  what  man- 
ner ihi.-!  exceedingly  Interesting  mcmen- 
tii  of  the  great  war  will  l)e  disposed  of, 
but  "it  Is  expected  that  It  will  be  rnrried! 
The  proceeds  are  to  be  devoted  to  th» 
Belgian  Relief  Fund. 

Several  other  gifts  have  been  received 
locally  for  the  same  purpose.  Ono  we.? 
from  the  St.  .Andrew's  Presbyterian 
Sunday  school.  It  cdnslsted  of  12.75. 
which  was  taken  In  a  collection.  The 
Anyox  War  Relief  .S-ociety  forwarded 
150.  while  as  a  result  of  a  patriotic  con- 
cert at  the  Lampson  Street  School, 
»i-Mn  was  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the 
local  committee.  The  sum  oT  f.ll.SO 
was  contributed  by  Master  Alfred  Hall, 
who  made  lU.!  money  through  the  sale 
of  copies  of  a  poem,  of  which  he  was 
the  author  and  which  is  entitled  "Ills 
Thought.s."  The  enterprise  of  the  lad, 
to  say  nothing  of  the  unusual  ability 
displayed,  may  be  better  appreciated 
when  it  is  explained  that  he  is  only 
twelve  yearn  of  age  and  that,  besides 
doing  the  writing,  he  looked  after  the 
printing  and    llie  sale  of  his   work

While  salaries  were  not  dealt  with

of  thi.^s  reduction  made  lapi  night

roroa  Wiort  Saaded 

Alderman  McNeill  aucrKested  thera 
were  too  many  detectives,  but  Aldernaaq 
Todd  replied  that  Chief  Langley  thought 
otherwlae,  and  In  an.v  event  the  uniform 
to^c  la  short  handed  and  this  waa 
balanced  by  the  number  of  plain  clothea 
men. 

Alderman  Bell's  nuggestioit,  eeronded 
by  Alderman  Sargent,  that  the  rommls- 
Bioiiera  be  reiiucsted  to  reduce  the  de- 
tcetve  force  by  four  men,  was  approved, 
and  win  be  forwarded  to  the  commla- 
^loners. 

"I  see  there  la  an  item  of  $2,000  for 
good  conduct  money,"  remarked  Alder- 
man Porter,  who  opined  that  from  what 
hf!  had  heard  of  the  recent  police  In- 
vestigation, he  did  not  think  the  amount 
was    required. 

.Strong  objection  was  tnade  by  Alder- 
man Fullerton,  chairman  of  the  fire 
wardens  committee,  and  Alderman  Bell, 
agaUiBt  the  charge  of  »37,000  levied 
auainut  the  fire  department  for  water, 
the  amount  laHt  year  beiiii;  »22,000, 
which  wuH  about  |21,000  more  than  the 
deiiarlment  could  be  charged  for  water 
actually  used  on  a  basis  of  domestic 
rutoa.  Water  Commissioner  Rust,  bas- 
ing his  figures  oti  a  percentage  of  the 
cost  of  installing  the  system  for  fire 
fighting  purposes,  figured  the  depart- 
ment should  be  charged  |45,000,  but  th'<i 
former  item  wa.s  allowed  to  stand, 
though  Aldermen  Pullerton  and  Bell 
urged  that  It  bo  so  charged,  that  It 
Avould  not  figure  In  .  the  maintenance 
cost  of  the  department.  It  was,  they 
pclnted  out,  this  arbitrary  charge  which 
made  the  estimate.s  of  the  department 
for  next  year  larger  than  that  for  this 
year,'  despito  the  fact  that  the  other 
Items   showed   a   reduction   of   |19,0*0. 

Aldermen  Todd  and  McNeill  favored 
reverting  to  the  former  system  where- 
under  the  firemen  had  one  day  off  In 
seven.  Instead  of  one  day  In  six  as  at 
present.  Such  a  change  would  permit 
of  seven  men  being  dropped  from  the 
pay-roll.  On  a  vote  the  preisent  system 
was  retained,  a  majority  of  the  board 
realizing  that  the  flrentisn,  who  were  on 
-dii-ty  twenty-four  hours  in  the  day,  are 
In  a  different  position  from  the  men  of 
other  departments,  who  have  a  large 
amount  of.  time  to  themselves. 

A  number  of  other  Items  were  pruned, 
but  the  real  cut  will  not  be  made  until 
the  matter  of  salary  and  st.aff  reduction 
i.s  dealt  with  at  the  meeting  on  Monday 
evening  next.

Overiseaa  Battalion,  wtilch  waa  formed 
in  Victoria  and  has  been  In  training 
for  several  months  at  tha  Willows.  \w- 
strudHions  were  received  by  Colonel 
Ogllvie,  tll(^  di.strict  officer  commanding, 
to  this  effect  yesterday,  and  Col.  John 
A.  Hall,  tht!  eomnuindcr  of  the  bat- 
talion, was  immediately  communicated 
with.  No  time  was  lost,  and  before 
evening  tliu  oRlcerH  as  well  as  the  men 
to  make  uji  the  draft  had  been  selected. 
While  no  dellnlte  word  has  been  re- 
ceived it  is  believed  that  they  will 
leavo  by  the  1:45  Vancouver  boat  on 
.Saturday  afternoon,  and  It  Is  generally

88th  ITuslllers,  and  on  volunteering  for 
active  service  was  transferred  to  "C" 
Company  of  tho  30th  Battalion,  has

who  always  has  been  entliusin«tlcally 
interested  In  military  matters,  and  who 
welcomes  the  opportunity  of  having  a 
hand  In  the  European  struggle.  Much 
the  same  may  be  said  for  Lieut.  Carew 
Martin,  a  son  of  Mr.  Justice  and  Mrs. 
Martin,  who  has  been  identified  with 
the  local  militia  for  some  timo  and  has

Under  -the  head  of  the  health  de- 
nartment  estimates,  Alderman  Todd  as- 
serted too  many  Inspectors  are  engaged, 
and  declared  a  reduction  In  staff  in 
all  departments  must  be  made,  while 
Alderman  Bell  pleaded  for  a  reduction 
in  salaries  rather  than  a.  reduction  in 
atfiff. 

Considerable  dlscus.'slon  took  place 
over  tho  Item  of  a  grant  of  $10,000  to 
the  Royal  Jubilee  Hospital  for  indigent 
patients.  The  directors  appeared  before 
(he  finance  committee  on  Monday  after- 
noon, when  it  wa.s  stated  that  with  the 
grant  of  $1,000  per  month  given  last 
year  by  the  city,  tho  hospital  is  now 
piaetically  $16,000  behind,  though  to- 
v/ards  this  amount  there  !.•<  $3,800  jstlll 
cnmlng  from  thf>  city  and  Government 
,in.l  about  $8,100  In  bills  iincollccted.  On 
the  assumption  that  half  of  these  bills 
can  be  realised  on  the  directors  stated 
that  fhi-y  would  finish  the  year  about 
S'.i.OOO  short,  though  they  might  gob 
along  with  a  grant  of  $5,000  in  addition 
tc  the  $1,000  monthly  now  being  given. 
In  1913  the  total  city  grant  was  $25,000, 
112,000  of  which  was  a  grant  to  wipe 
out   an   existing  deficit. 

Alderman  McNeill  urged  an  Investiga- 
tion into  the  methods  of  hospital  man- 
agement, and  Alderman  Okell  bolloved 
that  the  out.'5  landing  bills  should  be 
collected.  The  board  agreed  on  a  grant 
of  $12,500  to  cover  the  cost  to  the  city 
of  the  treatment  of  Indigent  patients 
and  asKi.st   in   wiping  out   the  deficit. 

Despite  Alderman  Dllwortli's  strenu- 
ous objection,  a  rut  In  outlays  on  parks 
was  made  by  reducing  tho  maintenance 
cost  from  $24,300  to  $17,000  and  elimin- 
ating the  estimate  of  $;!,500  for  park 
entertainments. 

Alderman  Todd  objected  lo  the  ex- 
pense of  the  park  nursery  and  claimed 
another  "jungle"  was  being  oatabllshod 
at    the  (Central   Park.

which  Is  headlined  this  week  by  the 
Whirlwind  American  Beauties.  Last 
night  there  were  crowds  standing  In 
front  of  the  door  all  evening  and  many 
failed  to  gain  admission.  Those  who 
wish  to  procure  good  scats  have  dis- 
covered that  when  a  show  of  this  cal- 
ibre comes  along  It  Is  necessary  lo  go 
to  the  theatre  early. 

The  American  Beautle.i  are  eleven 
charming  young  ladles  who  dance  and 
wear  irorgeoua  oostumea  with  exOulslte 
grace.  There  are  several  changes  of

Orphanage  yesterday  for  all  thc  friends 
who  came  to  sec  the  children  receive 
their  Christmas  gifts  and  to  listen  to 
the  carols  and  cantata  they  had  pre- 
pared, under  the  teaching  of  Mr.  Pol- 
lard, for  the  pleasure  of  their  visitors. 
Very  pretty  and  happy  the  children 
looketl  as  they  filled  the  long  seats  In 
tho  temporary  gallery  and  no  grand- 
father in  Victoria  looked  prouder  than 
the  president  of  the  committee,  Mr. 
Charleys  Hayward,  dUI  of  tho  big  family 
over  who.se  welfare  he  watches  with  so 
much  solicitude. 

Tho  concert  opened  woth  the  carol, 
"Sing,  Little  Children,  Bliig."  Beimot's 
Magnificat  i,n  K,  followed,  and  then 
softly  and  sweetly,  the  childish  voices 
told  how  "Once  a  Little  Baby  Lay." 
Then  followed  a  pretty  bright  cantata, 
"Winterland."  The      accompaniments 

were  played  -with  great  taste  by  Miss 
Violet  Parker.  The  audience  was  de- 
lighted with  tho  sweetness  and  finish 
with  which  the  children  .sang  and  many 
were  the  congr,atulatl(^ns  received  by 
the  teacher,  -Mr.  Pollard,  who  had  de-

staff,  and  several  members  oC  the  com- 
mittee, were  also  remembered  and  re- 
ceived mysterious  piirccla. 

.After  giving  three  cheers  for  thc

learned  to  take  an  interest  in  the  orphan

port of  the  president,  Mr.  L.  A.  Camp- 
hell,  M.  P.  P.,  contiilned  the  following 
tribute  to  the  late  Mr.  J.  S.  C.  Fraser: 

"It  Is  with  deep  regret  that  your 
committee  are  called  upon  to  put  on  re- 
cord the  loss  of  one  of  Its  members, 
Mr.  J.  S.  C  Krascr,  through  death.  Mr. 
Fraser  was  president  of  the  club  from 
its  Inception  until  the  year  1912,  when 
he  moved  to  Victoria.  The  death  of  Mr. 
Fraser  took  place  at  Toronto,  Ontario, 
on  November  4.  Mr.  Fraser  was  born 
on  March  16,  1862.  at  Fraserfield,  Ont., 
and  entered  tho  servlcew  of  the  Bank 
of  Montreal  as  Junior  clerk  In  Ottawa 
III  11178.  Ho  was  successively  at  St. 
.lohn,  Toronto,  Hamilton  and  New 
Westminster,  succeeding  to  the  manager-- 
ship  In  Ftossland  In  1896.  In  May,  1912, 
he  was  appointed  manager  of  the  Im- 
portant branch  of  Victoria,  which  post 
he  malntalnd  until  the  time  of  hia  aeath. 

"Mr.  Fraaer  waa  a,  descendant  of 
Colonel  Fraaer.  who  ralaed  the  Ptaser 
Regiment  and  fought  In  the  capture  of 
Quebec  Colonel  Fraaer  was  a  aon  of

the  war.     There  are  124  men  In  the  de- 
tachment, of  which  five  are  sergaants. 

The  choice  of  the  men  waa  a  prob- 
lem, but  It  waa  quickly  solved.  In  ac- 
cordance with  directions  the  preferenc* 
was  given  to  those  having  seen  active 
service  and.  In  fact,  it  is  stated  that 
there  are  few  taken  who  have  not  had 
experience.  Twenty  were  taken  from 
"C"  Company,  that  commanded  by  Capt. 
Moorehead,  and  ten  each  were  drafted 
from  the  other  eight  companies.  Of 
course  all  were  eager  to  obtain  a  place 
and  so  many  were  found  to  bo  fully 
lip  to  thc  recjulrementa  in  point  of  aer- 
MCe,  physique,  etc.,  that  It  was  neces- 
sary III  not  a  few  Instances  to  resort 
to  lh«  method  of  drawing  lots.  The  en- 
tire work,  however,  was  disposed  of 
with  expedition  and,  although  there  is 
little  time  lo  spare,  tlie  little  corps  will 
be  In  readiness  to  depart  whenever  the 
word   comes. 

This  morning  a  muster  parade  of 
thoBo  chosen  will  be  held  at  10  o'clock 
at  the  Willows.  Tliij  drawing  of  kits 
and  other  business  of  a  like  nature  will 
occujiy  thc  attenilou  of  the  officers  and 
men. 

Several  companies  of  the  30th  Bat- 
talion, among  thom  being  "B,"  *'E"  and 
"H"  Companies,  were  on  the  Clover 
Point  Range  yesterday.  They  engaged 
In  musketry  practice  and  in  trench  dig- 
ging. Their  scores  in  the  former  were 
most'  satisfactory  and  in  the  latter  the 
men  are  becoming  most  proficient.

=**Your  King  and  = 
Country  Need  You 


Here  is  a  recGrd  that  has  inspired  everyone  who  has  heard 
it.  It  is  easily  the  finest  record  produced  since  the  war  began, 
so  far  as  patriotic  records  are  concerned.  Maggie  Teyte's 
magnificent  voice,  her  very  evident  deep  sympathy  with  the 
subject  and  the  beautiful  setting  combine  to  make  a  selection 
that  will  long  be  remembered.' 

When  Maggie  Teyte  undertook  to  sing  for  the  making  of 
this  record  she  stipulated  that  her  share  of  the  profits  was 
to  go  to  the. Patriotic  Fund,  She  sang  two  songs:  "Your  King 
and  Country  Need  You,"  and,  on  the  reverse  side  of  the  sime 
record,  "The  Homes  They  Leave  Behind,"  both  beautifully 
rendered  but  the  first  a  real  jewel.  As  a  result  of  the  famous 
singer's  action  fifteen  cents  is  added  to  the  Patriotic  Fund  with 
every  record  sold. 

Yesterday  we  had  the  pleasure  of  trying  this  record  for 
several  well-known  Victorians  and  without  exception  they 
were  delighted  with  it.  Don't  ask  to  hear  it  unless  you  are 
prepared  to  be  moved  to  cable  Kitchener  an  offer  of  your 
services  on  the  spot.  It  nas  that  effect.  But,  if  you  own  a- 
Columbia  or  a  Victor,  you  OUGHT  to  ha/e  this  record.  It's  a 
i  2-inch  double-disc.

How  r-HH  women  help  to  prcNont 
futuri-  wars?  There  are  poople,  and 
very  wi»e  people,  who  say  that  wars 
will  end  when  women  gain  political 
power.  In  every  country  almost,  there 
are  women  who  havo  convinced  them- 
selves that  peace  will  follow  when  wo- 
men share  in  the  government  of  nations. 
It  is  no  argumont  against  women 
suffrage  to  .<ay  that  this  is  a  delusion. 
Wars  spring  not  from  laws  but  from 
human  nature.  In  all  the  years  since 
the  birth  of  the  Savior  women  have 
had  in  their  hands  the  moulding  of  tho 
lives  of  men.  With  the  first  breath  of 
the  Infant,  nay,  before  that  the  raother'.M 
influence  on  the  mcin-chlld  begins.  Dur- 
ing the  years  of  infancy  she  continues 
to  mould  his  character.  The  boy  gets 
his  Ideals  from  her  and  to  the  youth 
the  name  of  'mother'  should  stand  for 
all  that  is  best  and  purest,  it  is  true 
that  the  formation  of  the  lad's  char- 
acter is  Influenced,  and  rightly  so,  by 
the  other  sex.  His  father  llrst,  his 
companions,  his  teachers,  his  em- 
ployers. With  some  youths  the  bonda 
formed  in  adolescence  are  very  strong 
and  very  helpful.  Then  In  manhood 
sweetheart  and  Wife.  In  great  majority 
of  cases,  exert  sway  over  the  heart  and 
life  and  a  new  home  Is  formed. 

If  men  are  warlike  still.  Is  It  not  be- 
cause their  mothers  have  implanted  the 
qualities  and  Imparted  the  teachings 
that  make  them  soldiers?  If  they  de- 
sire power,  were  not  their  mothers  and 
their  wives  ambitious?  Here  and  there 
a  man  arises  so  far  above  his  sur- 
roundings that  h«redUy  and  environ- 
ment seem  to  have  no  influence  upon 
him.      But   the   rule   is   the  other  way. 

Xo,  the  reign  of  peace  la  not  to  be 
brought  about  by  political  expedients. 
Th«  reform  must  go  far  deeper.  It 
must  begin  in  the  hearts  of  men  and 
of  women.  When  the  overwhelming 
majority  of  the  people  of  any  nation 
have  learned  to  see  In  every  human 
being  a  brother,  and  when  they  carry 
out  literally  the  rule  "Therefore  what- 
soever things  y«  would  that  men  should 
do  unto  you,  do  you  even  so  unto  them," 
for  that  nation  Tvar  shaU  be  Impos- 
sible, 

The»  women  who  consider  seriously 
such  matters  cannot  but  feel  that  If 
this  war  Is  a  terrible  crime  the  wom«n 
of  the  nations  engaged  tn  It  are  respon- 
sible as  well  as  the  men.  It  may  be 
true  that  they  are  the  chl«f  sufferers, 
though  when  one  reads  the  gruesome 
stories  from  the  trenches  and  the  ac- 
counts of  the  nurses,  wben  on*  thinks 
of  the  numbers  that  must  go  through 
life  maimed  Or  lame  or  blind,  the  truth 
of  this  is  not  so  evident,  but,  however 
that  may  be,  this  war  did  not  come 
about  without  the  oonaent  of  half  the 
IMople  of  all  the  nations  Involved. 


MmplMt  Om 

Chriatm«a  J«  over.  Xever  did  the 
people  of  Victoria  respond  so  generously 
to  the  eiM  for  help.  No  one  whose 
need  was  discovered  was  laft  unpro- 
vided for  on  ChrlstmiLs  Ony.  There  was 
plenty  In  homea  where ^  for  many  week, 
parents  and  children  were  satisfied  with 
nece.altlee. 

Ni«w  that  the  holiday  !■  over,  not  only 
tbose  who  were  helped  but  the  helpers 
most  look  forward.  If.  a.  Is  to  be  ax-

the  preparation  of   land    for  crops,   few 
would  aulTer. 

On  their  part,  men  and  women  thrown 
out  of  work  .should  leave  no  stone  un- 
turned in  order  to  find  work.  The  ex- 
perience of  Mrs.  Kennedy  at  the  Wo- 
man's Council  depot  j^ocs  to  show  that 
it  Is  ouite  possible  to  help  people  to 
help-  themselves. 

Of  the  .single  women  there  wore,  in 
tlie  last  week  in  December,  very  few 
out  of  work.  Not  many  .cities  arc  .so 
fortunate.  The  common  sense  of 
young  women  themselves,  who  rijcog- 
nlzecl  that  wigea  must  be  accepted  for 
household  service  In  a  time  of  busiueHs 
depression  lower  tli^  hart  been  received 
for  several  years,  Is  partly  to  thank  for 
this   very  satisfactory  showing. 

The  public  spirit  and  liberality  of 
some  of  the  larger  employer.^,  who 
have  kept  on  their  .<jtarc  without  much, 
if  any,  reduction  in  their  wages  has 
helped  greatly  to  prevent  iinemploy- 
nrent  among  young  women. 

The  distress,  then,  is  amon>,-  families 
chiefly,  though  slngio  nion  are  also  Idle 
and  dependent.  A  united  effort  is  being 
made  lo  relieve  thi.s  tUstre.s.s  and  to 
place  things  on  a  better  footing.  This 
can  be  done  if  the  people  of  Victoria 
work  together  wisely.  There  muat  bo 
no  overlapping,  no  falling  short  and  no 
extravagance.  At  the  same  time,  those 
who,  through  no  fault  of  their  own,  are 
Idle  and  who  have  made  every  effort  to 
get  work  should  not  allow  those  depen- 
dent on  them  to  suffer  because  they  are 
unwilling    to   a.sk    for   help. 

We  need  courage  at  home  as.  well  aa 
the  soldiers  do  at  the  front,  but  with 
patience  and  love  for  our  neighbors  we 
will  win  through.  The  efforts  of  u.11, 
men,  women  and  children,  will  be  needed 
to  preserve  cheerfulness  in  the  homes 
and  to  bring  back  a  return  of  prosperity. 

The  rrleada'  Help 
The  New  York  Outlook  publishes  a 
Very  inierosting  account  of  hospital 
work  done  at  the  front  by  young  mon 
who  belong  to  the  Society  of  I'Vlends. 
The   writer  says   In  part: 

When  the  war  broke  out  English 
Friends  were  much  disturbed  and  some- 
what divided.  Loyally  to  their  country 
at  -vuch  a  time  as  this  seemed  to  run 
athwart  their  religious  beliefs.  Late  in 
August  Philip  J.  Baker,  a  young  Kriend, 
wrote  a  letter  to  the  official  organ  of 
the  Society,  asking  all  Friends  inter- 
ested in  relief  work  on  behalf  of  the 
soidie'rs    to    write    to    him. 

His  father,  a  Canadian,  is  a  member 
of  the  English  Parliament,  and  he  him- 
self has  gained  distinction  as  a  student 
of  international  law.  His  letter  aroused 
a  good  deal  of  discussion,  some  holding 
that  Quakers  had  no  busineas  to  aid 
soldiers,  even  by  caring  for  the  wound- 
ed; but  Mr.  Baker's  arguments  pre- 
vailed. 

A  training  camp  was  established  at 
.lordan'a,  where  the  famous  old  FYlends' 
meeting  house  stands,  in  which  William 
Penn  worshipped  and  where  he  is 
buried.  A  com-pany  of  young  Friends 
went  into  camp  there  Just  as  the  men 
who  were  enlisting  for  fighting  were 
going  into  camp;  and  there  they  took 
their  training.  Then  an  ambulance 
unit  started  for  the  front.  This  was  on 
October  31.  Before  they  had  crossed 
the  Channel  they  found  themselves  en- 
gaged in  relief  work  of  the  moat  stren- 
uous kind,  for  they  encountered-  tho 
British  cruiser  Hermes  sinking  after  a 
German  torpedo  attack.  They  rescued 
and  cared  for  many  of  the  sailors.  Then 
they  reached  France  and  plunged  into 
the  work  of  relieving  the  wounded.  For 
ihlrty-slx  hours  th«se  men  worked  with- 
out  rest. 

Within  two  weeks  a  third  party  had 
left_for  the  front,  bringing  the  total 
number  of  the  unit  up  to  slxty-flve.  In 
a  little  more  than  a  week  after  landing 
at  Dunkirk  a  party  of  nine  left  to  es- 
tablish a  collecting  and  dressing  station 
at  Tpres;  but  the  town  was  deserted 
and  partly  destroyed,  so  the  station  waa 
established  at  Woeaten.  a  village  about 
five  miles  away. 

The  British  require  the  men  engaged 
in  Red  Cross  work  to  enlist  and  to 
carry  side  arms.  These  Friends  could 
not  conscientiously  do  thta;  so  they  ap- 
plied to  the  Prenoh  Oovernment,  and 
were  accepted.  These  men  are  under 
«re,  but  have  no  meane  even  of  defend- 
ing themselves. 

The  brave  and  efficient  work  that 
these  younc  men  are  dolna  m  Impress- 
ed an  army  colonel  that  after  omninc 
home  h«  called  for  more  men  of  the 
•art',  for  he  aaid  he  had  never  seen 
youns  men  buokte  to  a.  tbay  did.  Be

bardment.  As  soon  aa  night  falls  we 
move  to  the  front  line,  and  when  the 
enemy's  rifle  and  machine  gun  Are 
quietK,  we  take  rifle  in  one  hand,  a 
I  shovel  or  pick  in  the  other,  and  move 
over  the  flat  ground,  crawling  along 
on  our  stomachs.  At  the  command 
'halt,'  without  rising  and  with  our 
knapsacks  as  a  protection  against  tha 
whistling  bullets,  we  dig  desperately. 
It  Is  remarkable  how  quickly  a  hole 
may  be  dug  when  the  bullets  are  kick- 
ing up  the  loose  earth  above  your 
heads;  many  a  poor  chap  droits  befora 
tbls  Is  done.  One  comrade  fell  over  me 
with  a  bullet  through  the  eye.  Next 
day  the  body,  rolled  In  a  muddy  tent- 
cloth  and  strapped  to  a  pole,  was  borno 
by  two  friends  into  the  neighboring 
village. 

"Once  the  soldiers  have  dtig  their  In- 
dividual trenches,  they  must  be  con- 
nected, but  this  work  may  be  dona  mora 
lelsurel}'.  Next,  the  entire  trench  la 
deepened,  so  that  by  morning  w*  can 
stand  up  straight  and  aim  comfortably 
over  the  crest  at  the  line  opposite.  We 
must  also  burrow  little  caves  to  sleep 
in  and  tunnels  communicating  with  the 
rrar,  and  build  gun  posts  to  the  front 
of  the  trancli:  then  there  Is  the  work  of 
putting  out  Iwrbed  wire  entanglements, 
setting  up  timbers  and  covfrlnc  them 
over  as  a  roof  against  artillery  fire.  It 
is  hard  work,  lifting  and  placing  theaa  ' 
timbers,  especially  draavtng  them 
through   our  muddy   little .  tunnels. 

"In  spite  of  rain  and  hall  and  wading

Sado  Maru  Is  First  Ship  in

Full  Cargo.

tain Aaakawa,  was  not  In  such  great 
ileniand  for  r:tftcrage  travel  tliat  has 
marked  the  departure  of  Orlontal-houiicl 
.ships  hert'toforc.  This  Is  accounted  fjur 
by  ihc  fallinK  off  of  Chinese  tnivfl'  to 
the  I'ar  lOast.  With  the  approaching 
clOHC  of  ih«'  year,  the  exodua  of  Chinese 
Is  practically  at  an  end.  The  flrst  re- 
turn partU'M  will  begin  to  appear  at 
this  port  during  the  coming  .Spring. 

The  Chinaman  apparently  has  but  one 
object  Ju  returning  to  his  native  land, 
and  that^^,  to  be  on  the  spot  when  tho 
New  Year  celebrations  are  in  full 
swing.  ■\Vliun  she  departed  from  Vic- 
toria late  yesterday  afternoon  for  Yoko- 
hama and  Hongkong,  the  Sado  Man! 
carried  Ave  second-class  and  seventy 
steerage  passengers,  whq  embarked  at 
the  Outer  Docks,  and  the  Seattle  list 
was  correspondingly  light.  Kurlng  the 
past  few  months  over  double  this  num- 
ber havi  been  sailing  by  «very  out- 
bound  ship    from   this  port.

Although  passenger  travel  shows  a 
shlght  falling  off,  outbound  cargoes 
still  continue  to  be  he-avy,  and  It  Is  ex- 
pected that  this  condition  will  prevail 
until    weU    into   the   Spring.

Sicam  Packet  Company,  the  steamer 
itio  Pas.stg  is  now  on  pas.sajro  from  tho 
Oiient  to  this  Coast  to  load  general

rceclvcU  by  Klndlay,  Hurham  &  Brodie, 
agents  here  for  the  Koyal  Mail  I..lnc, 
that  the  Rio  Passiff  has  been  chartered

Rio  Passlff  Is  reported  to  have  .sailed

oflerlng,  the  Rio  Pa.«sig  will  call  at 
Victoria  to  load.  Other  ports  to  he 
touched   at  will   be   Seattle  and   Tacoma. 

Owing  to  the  reaulsltloning  of  regu- 
lar steamers  by  the  Admiralty,  the

culty In  maintaining:  ita  service  to  this 
Coast   from    London. 

The  Rio  Passig  has.  in  all  probabnity, 
been  chartered  to  fill  in  the  gap,  as 
freight  offerings  for  the  Far  East  are 
now  exceptionally  heavy.  The  Klo

SIOATTLE.  Dec.  29.— Still  staunch  and 
seaworthy  despite  the  ups  and  downs 
that  have  marked  her  long  career,  the 
old  steam  freighter  Editl],  which  has 
served  as  everything,  from  a  palatial 
private  yacht  to  an  itinerant  cnrgo  car- 
rier, Is  about  to  change  her  trade  again. 
In  tile  Spring  s!i.>  will  leave  for  th--- 
Ncrth  to  wreck  the  steamship  Olynipla, 
which  has  been  perched  for  several 
ye-irs  on  a  reef  In  Prince  'U'illiam 
Sound.  An  examination  last  week 
showed  that  notwithstanding  public 
belief  to  the  contrary,  the  freighter  is 
good  for  years  to  come. 

At  a  marshal's  sale  recently,  the  Edith 
was  purchased  for  $700  by  Captain 
lisrry  W.  Crosby,  of  the  AVashington 
Tug  »t  Pargo  Compan.v.  and  Ben  Mar- 
kus,  of  MarkuB  &  Neider,  machinery 
dealers,  for  use  in  wrecking  the  Olym- 
pin.  The  freighter  is  fitted  with  heavy 
8)iar8  and  booms  and  powerful  ateam 
winches  that  will  cnaBle  her  to  tackle 
the  wrecking  job  without  difficulty. 
Captain  Cropby,  who  examined  the  ves- 
sel, rcport.«i  that  she  la  in  good  condi- 
tion for  the  Northern  venture."  He  found 
that  hor  frames  were  made  of  Port  Or- 
fOTxl  cedar  from  Oregon,  a  wood  that 
never   decays. 

The  Olympla  is  owned  by  the  Alaalta 
Hto^amshlp  Company  and  will  be  wrecked 
under  a  working  agreement  between 
Markua  and  that  corporation.  Captain 
Crosby  has  become  Markus'  partner  in 
the   enterprise, 

Tho  frelghtor  wa.s  built  In  Snn  Fran- 
cisco In  1882  as  a  ploa4«ure  yacht  for 
H.  F.  Italston.  a  well-known  millionaire 
01   the  Golden  Gate  port  at  that  time. 


Since  her  arrival  on  tho  British  Coast 
from  Victoria  the  British  steamer 
Knight  of  the  Thistle  has  ttgured  in  a 
series  of  mishaps.  Bound  for  Glasgow, 
.\  von  mouth  and  Harwich,  the  Knight  of 
the  Thistle  put  to  sea  from  Victoria  on 
September  1'2  and  made  the  homeward 
passage  via  the  Panama  Canal. 

Upon  reaching  the  Clyde  in  Novem- 
ber the  Thistle  collided  with  another 
vessel  near  Greenock  t;nd  sustained 
some  damage.         .'_■..        ,  . 

Now  cornea  word  thftt  oii  December 
11,  while  bound  dowu  th.e  Clyde  for 
Avonmouth,  the  Knight  of  the  Thistlis 
was  in  collision  with  the  coasting 
steamer  Enid.  The  damage  was  sup- 
posed to  be  slight  but  the  Thistle  i)ro- 
ceedcd  to  tho  Tail  of  the  Bank  for  c.v- 
amlnatlon,  and  subsequ«ntly  she  pro- 
ceedetl  on  her  voyage  to  Avonmouth, 
where  she  arrived  on  December  15,  to 
effect  repairs.  Despite  lli-f-  fact  that  she 
was  badly  bumped  the  steamer  Enii! 
continued  licr  trip  to  Glasgow.  Details 
as  to  the  full  extent  of  tho  damage  sus- 
tained by  either  vessel  arc  not  avail- 
able. The  Knight  of  tii*  Thistle  car- 
ried a  cargo  of  foodstuffs  from  Pugct 
Sound,  smd  after  cotnpleting  she  took 
on  bunkers  at  Comox  and  touched  at 
Victoria  on  her  way  out  to  sea. 
Bpltbaad  la   Samaffad 

Word  has  been  received  h^Jre  to  the 
effect  that  the  liritish  steamer  Spithead 
has  entered  the  Barry  Graving  Dock 
with  bottom  plates  badly  damaged.  It 
Is  not  reported  how  the  vessel  sus- 
tained  her  damage. 

The  Spithead  Is  well  known  on  the 
Brltislj  c;olumbla  Coast,  having  touched 
at  Victoria  on  more  than  one  occasion 
in    the    offshore    freighting    trade.

Vancouver  Wins  Keenly  Con-

Extra  Play. 


.'' 


TheiM  wan  no  doubt  iflioui  lliu  Vic- 
toria team  being  In  earnest  last  night 
111  Its  tiliclftavor  Id  stiMll  the  viclorioUH 
fourise  of  Iht^  TeiinlnHl.s  hi  the  Hockey 
ly<?agut',  and  the  faiiw  Who  had  I'ultli  In 
ita  ability  to  coinf  l>aflc  to  Ihi'  olil 
ihamplonsihi|i  form  were  not  dlsap- 
polnlfil.  Vanixiiivet'  may  he  fast,  hut 
without  t'yclone  Taylor,  the  local 
bunch  would  have  put  It  all  over  them 
In  tilt-  matter  of  HpeeO,  while  lii  C'Oii)- 
))iiiatlon  there  was  llttU>  to  choose.  Jt 
was  a  (food  aanie  and  the  final  result, 
a  win  for  Vuncouver  by  4  {joalis  to  3, 
might  aa  widl  luive  been  decided  by  a 
toss  of  a  coin  as  by  Tilay'"K  U  "Ui  till 
ojii!  or   other   .scored   a  |{oal. 

The  gamf  opened  -  wltli  a  whirlwind 
Jftart  and  th<i  Victoria  players  .ipeertlly 
showeil  that  they. had  taken  a  tumble 
<o  themselves  a^id  were  settllnK  down 
to  play  hockey.  It  was  a  startlULif 
transformation  from  the  last  exhlblthr/i 
tliey  put  up.  They  went  right  to  bu.si- 
vf^H  and  had  Lehman  busy  keeping  out 
hot  shots  before  Lindsay  had  a  chasio-j 
lo  set  his  oyo  in. 

The  play  w.is  rapid  to  say  the  least 
of  It,  and  It  was  soon  apparent  that, 
whichever  side  won,  the  speC'tators  wer* 
going  to  see  a  fine  game  before  It  was 
decided.  Poulln  played  a  brilliant  game 
throughout  and  it  was  from  a  paflS 
from  him  that  Kerr,  who  wuh  also  In 
line  form,  .shot  the  Hmt  goal  for  the 
home  side   in  11:53. 

Shortly  after  the  scoring  of  the  first 
goal  Dunderdal.e  made  a  good  run  and 
miB.scd  an  open  net  with  hid  shot,  but 
was   at    it   again   before   very    long,    and 


this  time  with  a  beautiful  bit  of  play 
enabled  Kerr  to  score  oft  .his  rebound. 
Viincouver  was  by  no  means  Idle  dur- 
ing the  period,  they  were  evidently 
playing- up.  their  .very  beti.ta.nd  hardest 
but  thfe  home  bunch  had  the  bit  between 
their  teeth  and  they  were  playing 
hockey  as  good  as  ever  seen  on  the  lo- 
cal rink,  the  first  period  ending  with 
t!K»  score  2   to  0  In   their  favor. 

In  the  second  period  tho  Vanoouver- 
iles  came  wltli  a  rush  at  first  and 
seemed  to  have  the  epeed  of  the  locals, 
but"  it  took  them  nine  minutes  before 
they  managed  to  yet  their  first  goal, 
-McKay _ scoring  from  a  pass  Ity  Taylor, 
tmd  getting  a  neoond  one  55  seconds 
after  from  a  rebound.  .Skinner  Poulln 
was  doing  splendid  work  for  the  home 
team  but  the  defence  of  tho  Termlnal.s 
was  .strong  enotigh  to  Iceep  the.  locals 
out.  The  puce  was  very  hot  and  the 
hockey  was  >rettlng  a  bit  ragged,  as 
botii  sides  appeared  to  feel  the  ■effects, 
the  second  period  ending  without  fur- 
llier  score,  leaving  things  ef|unl  witli 
a  score!  Of  2,  all. 

Tblrd   Variod 

In  the  third  period  bot4»-sId,s  slowed 
down  a  bit.  Victoria  were  the  first  to 
attack,  Kerr  putting  In  a  hot  shot  wl'.Sch 
was  well  saved  by.  Lehman.  There  were 
many  brilliant  individual  runs  in  this 
period  on  both  sides.  Cyclone  Taylor 
f(jr  tho  opposition  looking  mighty  dan- 
gerous ttui.-»  after  lime.  There  was  lit- 
tle to  choose  lietween  tht!"  sides,  how- 
ever, and  It  was  anybody's  game.  Nine 
minute."  afUr  the  start  of  the  perl(^^' 
Taylor  found  the  net  from  a  pass  by 
McKaj',  but  the  advantage  thus  gained 
was  ef|uall7.ed  two  minutes  after,  when 
Dunderdoj^  and  Patrick  innde  a  fine 
combination  run  and  the  latter  shot  It, 
in    p,aKt   IjPhman   off    Dunder.lale's  tiass. 

It  looked  as  If  Vancouver  had  madi.' 
jlieir  best  effort  .ibo\U  this  time  and 
V)nt  for  the  brilliant  Individual  work 
of  Ta,vIor  the  score  might  have  heetj 
very  different.  Tlie  hockey  was  fast 
and  furious  towards  tho  end  of  th« 
period  but  neltlipr  side  could  majj^an- 
r)tlier  point  before  the  gong  wont  and 
overtime  had  to  be  played  to  decide  the 
match.  Twelve  minutes  tho  puck  was 
taken  first  by  one  side  and  then  the 
other  up  and  down  the  rink  and  It  was 
the  luck  of  the  visitors  that  they  made 
the  first  shot  Which  got  liome  after  one 
of  the  closest  anil  hardest  matches  evtr

the  writer  voices  the  belief  that  the

have  been  injured  or  killed  in  his  coun-

met  death  this  year.  Tlic  Injuries  which 
^he  tabulators  classed  us  t*rlouE  total 
I.O.'JO,  and  of  this  number  fully  half 
have  entirely  recovered.  When  one 
."itopa  to  think  of  the  many  who  engage 
in  these  great  pastimes,  fully  10,000,000 
at  the  least  e>:tlmale,  the  toll  of  deatli 
and  Injury  does  not  seem  to  terrible. 
Tho  hunting  fraalltiea  of  tho  year  fell 
off  from  1,35  last  year,  although  the  In- 
juries   Jiliui)ed    from    125    to    t6'J. 

A  campaign  of  warning  wa."?  w.ised 
111  cai!h  of  tiie  clglitccn  states  rr>in» 
which  the  flgiires  are  drawn.  Wiscon- 
sin lost  33  hunters;  Michigan,  27;  Min- 
nesota, 12.  Michigan  had  12  injure* 
huntsmen;  Wisconsin,  Sfi,  and  Wasli- 
Ington.  20.  I'rom  tlie  statistics  of  the 
gamfi  license  bureaus,  it  la  estimated 
that  150,000  hunted  deer  during  '.he 
open  sejison. 

3S  Daattaa   in  BaaabaU

of  ,\merlcnn  men  took  pari,  bosldci  viie 
inimberle.'i.s  professional  and  soml-pro» 
fessional  I'la.vcrs,  makes  a  remarkably 
good  showing  witli  only  3,j  deatl),'^ 
attributable  to  Injuries  received  In  tlie 
game.  Of  tills  number  20  were  iilt  l)y 
pitclied  balls,  r>  were  siru(!k  wllli  bats, 
■I  (ivcitaxed  tliemselves,  1  was  hurt 
.ilhling  to  a  hasp  and  1  was  killed  in  • 
right. 

Of  tiip  ins  Injuries  recorded  hs  ap- 
pareiiLly  serious,  ,111  were  of  l)roken 
limbs,'  18  had  concus.slon  of  tho  brain, 
13  liad  their  skulls  fractured,  i  were 
paralyzed,  37  received  serious  sprains, 
26  were  spiked,  17  received  fractures. 
7  were  put  out  of  the  running  by  dis- 
locations and  10  were  victims  of  torn 
ligaments. 

Wot  Manx  rootball  rataUtUa 

Football,  tlie  most  strerinous  of 
American  games,  exacts  a  remarkably 
light  toll  tills  year.  Of  course,  tlie 
death'  list  of  thirteen  does  not  convey 
the  full  seilcfUsnesH  of  the  game. 
Among  the  injured,  and  tliey  are  so 
many  and  constant  that  Uiey  could  not 
all  be  accurately  tabulated,  many  are 
permanently   Inju.-ed. 

Considering  the  greai  numbers  of 
school  teams,  college  teamw  and  boys 
who  took  part  In  tho  game  this  year, 
and  liie  opportunities  for  rnugli  work 
which  are.  always  present  In  the  game, 
the  wonder  la  that  tlie  deatli  llsi  is  so 
small.  This  la  attributed  In  part  to  the 
school  and  college  toaina  and  the  care- 
ful selection  of  tlie  most  hardy  youths 
to  mi^ko  up  (he  team*. 

Only  two  of  the  fatalUieki  were  among 
«ollece  men:  one  of  thene  died'  from 
heart  diaoaae  and  the  other  from  in- 
jurlea In  a  claaa  fame.  The  others 
were  membera  of  high  aohool,  prepara- 
tory MChool  or  (roe  lance  teama.  Nona 
of  the  boys  were  over  20  years  oi  are. 

Tackllnc  waa  the  principal  cause  of 
ihe  Injurlea  that  resulted  In  death,  of 
the  *.%99  and  more  .  caaea  of  Injury 
noted,  fully  half  are  known  to  -bave 
ei^lrely  recovered,  and  It  la  eattmated 
that  the  reco\'erlea  will  reach  three* 
quartera  of  the  number.

FIGHTING  IN  STREETS 


OfBoev   of   wiaaara    OWas     Oraphlo    Ac- 
count  of    Encounter    With    Oev- 
mans  In  TlUafa 


An  otHcer  in  a  regiment  of  ilussar!? 
glv<'8  an  account  of  an  exciting  tight 
In  the  streets  of  a  village  almost  gut- 
ted  by   names,     lie   says: 

Two  nights  ago  w«-  ulso  had  some  c-x- 
cllenient.  Our  brigudo  whs  ordered  to 
cdear  tUe  Germans  out  of  a  town  dose 
by  here.  AVe  started  tu  do  ao  late  In 
the  ttfternopu  in  thick  fog.  By  the 
time  we  got  there  It  was  pitch  dark, 
and  my  regiment  got  into  one  end  of 
tile  town  before  the  Germans  discov- 
ered what  was  happening.  Then  the 
fun  began  in  eainosl.  The  houses  were 
full  of  Germans,  and  we  got  our  Maxim 
guns  going  down  the  streets.  You  can't 
Imagine  the  noise  that  the  shooting 
made  in  the  empty  streets,  and  yo;i 
could  see  nothing  but  the  nash  of  rifles. 
The  10th  Lancers  brought  up  u.  field 
gun  by  hand  and  blew  down  ouo  of  th^elr 
barricade.'!,  and  evcntuallv  we  got  Into 
Ihf  cenli'c  of  the  town.  Here  the  enemy 
had  set  (Ire  to  some  houses,  w'iiich  lit 
up  the  streets  ami  made  ii  Imposslblf 
for  us  to  get  on  further,  so  we  retired 
out  of  the  town  again.  Oiir  pbjoct  was 
to  capture  th«!  bridge  over  a  river  on 
the  far  side  of  the  town.  Which  wi- 
could  have  clone  but  for  the  burnln.g 
nouses.  Shortly  after  wo  got  oiUsUli! 
llie  toAvn  thn  Germans  started  to  shell 
it,  and  kept  this  up  for.J'our  hours, 
thInlUng    We   were   still    there. 

Accident    at    Keating 

LO.NDOX,  unt.,  Uvc.  29. — Twenty-flvo 
people  were  iiijuied,  none  fatally,  last 
even.lng.  when,  at  a  crowded  nomina- 
tion nu^eting  In  Adelaide  township  hall, 
a  section  of  the  floor  stiddenly  gave 
way.  A  slight  panic  followed,  but  thoso 
who  went  down  were  t^uickly  rescued.

Wall  Street  Hesitates  Because 
of  Administration's  Note  to 
Great  Britain— Final  Trend 
Is  Generally  Downward. 


NKW  Yjfk,  Oec.  28. — Morethail  Et 
any  time  Since  the  renewal  of  business 
(n  the  stoek  exchange,  today's  market 
was  ffovcnifid  by  conditions  having  their 
outgrowth  111  the  foreign  war.  The  rep- 
resentatinns  mode  by  the  .Vdmlnlstra' 
tlon  to  Urlialii.  iiiotcstliig  against  fur- 
ther detention  of  .Vnierican  marine  com- 
merce, caused  an  abrupt  halt  in  the  ad- 
vp.nco  of  prices  which  was  In  full  swln,- 
ac  the  previous  day's  close.  Wall 
Street  viewed  the  subject  from  various 
nnKles,  and  the  general  opinion  se.emeil 
to  be  that  a  new  and  significant  de- 
\eiopment  had  been  projected  Into  the 
Intern.itlonal  situation. 

The  mnrliet  opened  with  Its  accus- 
tomed irregularity,  leading  atockB  show- 
li-g  heaviness,  with  a  few  gains  among 
urimporLint  l.'sues.  From  that  level  a 
r.illy  ensued,  the  recovery  in  a  few  In- 
stances restoring  stocks  to  yesterday's 
boHt.  ISefore  mid-day  the  list  fell  back 
again,  and  for  the  balance  of  the  day 
r.o  Important  changes  were  recorded, 
lic.'ilings  showed  a  marked  falling  off 
In  comparison  with  recent  full  Besalons. 
nnfl  sucti  trend  as  was  shown  came 
n.ulnly  from  thii  (i|>erationH  of  the  short 
Interest,  with  a  sprinkling  of  liquida- 
tion. especlHlly  in  the  nock  Island 
bonds,  which  made  sharp  declines  of 
2   tc  almost   5   points. 

Another  i.'ecllne  in  exchange  on  'Lon- 
don lo  the  lowest  iirico  In  almost  six- 
teen months  gave  rise  to  some  dlacus- 
ylon  of  gold  Importt".  Bankera  were 
unanimous  In  ueviuiina  l-hat  itile  market 
cannot  hope  to  get  sold  from  London, 
but  ft  rsturn  of  some  of  the  noUl 
shipped  to  OtUtN'a  in  the  early  etMe" 
of  the  war  Is  within  the  range  of  prob- 
ability. Time  money  waa  Quotfi  at  nn-
